To Prepare the Sugar Mixture for the Barfi:
-
In a deep bottom pan or kadhai, add water and then Sugar, Cardamom Powder, and bring it to a boil.
-
When it comes to a boil, add milk to it. ( In this, we have added milk to remove the impurities from the sugar syrup). So when we add the milk, a grey color layer forms on the sugar syrup; these are impurities. Remove them with the help of a spoon.
-
Your Sugar Syrup for Coconut Barfi starts getting ready.
-
Cook till it forms 1.5 thread of syrup in between your fingers. For this, we need to cook the sugar syrup for 10-15 minutes and check between our fingers that 1.5 thread is forming or not. If not, we need to cook for some more time.
-
Check that the thread formed in between your fingers is 1.5 once more.
-
Add desiccated coconut into the sugar syrup and mix it all well. Switch off the flame. You can add a little bit of milk if the mixture is dry.
For the Final Dish:
-
Take a plate and grease it with some ghee on it and keep it aside. We need to add the prepared coconut mixture to it later on.
-
Spread it evenly on the plate and press it with the back of a greased steel bowl.
-
Let it rest for 5 minutes and later cut it into barfi shapes by applying little ghee to the knife.
- Sprinkle the cardamom powder on it and afterward store it in an airtight container.
Notes
You can also give them the shape of Ladoos.
