THENGAI (COCONUT) BURFI - KARTHIGAI - A FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS


HAPPY KARTHIGAI TO ALL
For all karthigai recipes click on the captions of the pictures towards the end of this post. Now the thengai burfi...


INGREDIENTS:

Coconut - 1 big (soft scraps)
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 2 tablespoons
Cashew - 10 broken to pieces
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp.

METHOD:

Scrap only the white portion of the coconut. Ensure soft scraping. Do not scrap the brown skin.

In a  heavy bottomed pan, add a ladle of water and sugar.  Make a sugar syrup of 1 thread consistency. Add scraped coconut and stir continuously. When the mixture leaves the sides and has white froths all over, add ghee, broken cashew pieces, cardamom powder and mix well. Spread on a greased tray evenly and cut into desired shapes.
