| Coconut (grated) | 1 cup |
| Sugar | 1 cup |
| Cashews (chopped) | 1/8 cup |

| Ghee | 1 tsp |
Method :
- Take a pan and fry cashews till golden brown and set aside. Keep a Tray ready greased.
- Heat coconut and sugar together & mix well. Stir constantly in medium flame.
- Then sugar will melt and form a thick liquid. Continue this until the mixture starts leaving the pan and forms a foamy whitish bubbles while stirring. Color should not change.
- Add cashews, elaichi powder & mix well.
- Then pour immediately to the greased tray and press it with a greased aluminium foil to give it a smooth finish. Cut in to any desired shape while it is still warm.
Notes :
- The time taken to get the perfect consistency of burfi varies upon the pan thickness, heat and moisture in coconut.
- Don't set the mixture in tray for so long until it cools down, otherwise it will be very difficult to make pieces.
- Sharp knife / pizza cutter / cookie cutter can be used for giving shape.
- Stirring should stop immediately after the consistency reached, otherwise the sugar'll get caramelized and color will start to change.
