Coconut Burfi Recipe: How To Make Thengai Burfi
Coconut burfi is a traditional Indian sweet that is prepared for most festive seasons and special family occasions. The coconut burfi is simply made by cooking ground coconut and sugar. It is also known as kobbari burfi in Karnataka, and nariyal burfi in North India.
Also known as the thengai burfi, in Tamil Nadu, this sweet is juicy inside and crunchy on the outside. The juiciness in the coconut gets combined with the sugar, which makes it a treat to the taste buds.
It is a very simple and inexpensive sweet to make, as it does not require any lavish use of ghee or butter unlike other Indian sweets. If you would like to prepare this simple sweet at home, read the step-by-step procedure with images and also watch the video.
