Carrot Coconut Burfi is a little twist to our conventional coconut burfi. Just adding carrots to the coconut not only enhances the flavour but also makes this unique and appetizing. Sugary sweets are always calorie rich. But once a while we can have this delicious burfi. Especially for festivals like Diwali, this is one of the unique treat to your family and friends.

In coconut burfi, While grating coconut, we need to make sure we are grating without any brown parts of the shell to get a pure white color burfi. Here, in carrot coconut burfi, as we are adding carrot, the color naturally change to light orange. So we don’t need to carefully grate the coconut but I would recommend that white gratings are perfect without shell mixings. I don’t like to add any artificial colors, but if you like you can add saffron threads to get natural color or you can add 2-3 drops of Orange Food Color.

2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Water
½ tsp Cardamom Powder
2 tbsp Ghee (Clarified butter)

Instructions

Grease a tray with ghee and set it aside
In a pan, add the ghee. Add grated coconut and carrot and saute in ghee for 4-5 minutes till the raw smell of the carrot goes off and you get a nice aroma. Take this aside
In another pan, add sugar and water. Allow the sugar to get dissolved. Add cardamom Powder
Keep stirring the sugar syrup till the syrup gets thicken up and forms a one string consistency. If you take a drop of syrup and rub between your thumb and index finger, then a string should form, this is the right consistency
Once the one-string consistency is formed, add the carrot-coconut mixture and start stirring
Initially the burfi mixture will look like so watery. Keep stirring, till it gets thicken up and doesn’t stick to the sides of the pan
Switch off the flame and pour the mixture to the greased tray. Grease the back of a spoon with ghee and level the mixture in the tray. Allow it to cool off and then cut into square shaped pieces

Notes

Freshy grated coconut is the best choice for this burfi. Also while grating coconut, make sure to take only the white portion without scraping the sides of the shell
You can store in air-tight container and we can use it for a week.
Cut the burfi when it is still slightly warm. Once it cools down completely, you will not be able to cut it into pieces.
