COCONUT & SOOJI BURFI

Coconut Sooji (Rawa) Burfi is one of my favorite Indian Sweets. Here is a twist. Burfi is a dense, usually milk based sweet. I made a different version with saffron flavor, using some sooji along with coconut and sugar. Its very easy to cook. 

Ingredients:

  1. Sooja / Rawa / Semolina - 250 gram
  2. Coconut (grated) - 1/2 cup
  3. Water - 1/4 cup
  4. Cardamom powder - 1tsp
  5. Sugar - 500 gram
  6. Saffron threads - few
  7. Ghee - 1 tsp
  8. Milk - 1 tsp

Process:   
  
1. For making this dessert recipe, add ghee in a pan over medium flame. Add the grated coconut and fry lightly. Remove and keep aside.
2. Add a little ghee to the pan and fry the sooji till golden. 
3. Mix sugar with water and bring to a boil. Add one table spoon milk and remove the scum that rises to the top. Add the saffron threads and boil till the mixture reaches a string consistency.
4. Add fried sooji and coconut and stir well adding a little ghee from time to time till thick.
5. Pour into a plate and keep aside to cool. Before it cools fully, slice into desired shapes.


Note : You can also store them in airtight container and serve as and when required.
