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.
