coconut barfi

INGREDIENTS :

Coconut grated - 1 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - 1/4 cup
Cashews broken - 1 tbsp
Ghee - 2 tsp i have used oil as i don't like ghee
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp [optional]

Method:

• Add little ghee/oil, roast the broken cashews till golden brown and keep aside.
• Grease a plate/tray with ghee and keep it ready. 
• Take wide bottomed non stick pan add sugar and water mix well,till sugar dissolves completely and starts bubbling.
• Keep stirring continuosly, cook till a single string consistency :
• If you take a drop between your thumb and index finger you can see a single string forming as shown in the 2nd thumbnail - thats the right consistency. 
• At this stage add coconut.You can even grind the coconut coarsely before adding it.
• Combine and keep stirring till bubbles star forming at the edges. 
• At this stage add ghee/oil
• Then add cashews and cardamom powder and give a quick stir. After 3-5 mins it will start thickening and form a mass without sticking and starts coming off easily from the sides of the pan - 
• At this stage switch it off.

• Transfer the mixture to the tray and cut into squares or whatever shape you prefer when its still warm. Cool down completely then store it in airtight container.
• Make sure you cool them only for 10 mins else marking pieces will be difficult.

I love it when it still warm, juicy yummy burfis!!!
