COCONUT BURFI WITH DESICCATED COCONUT/KHOPRA BURFI/NARIYAL KE CHOORE KI BURFI

With the onset of monsoon (rainy season) in India, a new life starts sprouting after the severe heat. We in India welcome the monsoon followed by a number of festivals. As the festive season is about to approach we start to prepare several dishes sweet and savoury to welcome that.

My efforts too for the same are not an exception. I love to prepare sweets at home before the arrival of festivals.  This coconut burfi with desiccated coconut is such a treat for sweetmeat lovers. When the fresh coconut is not available to me I go for the coconut powder which never disappoints and makes equally delicious goodies. This tasty coconut burfi or fudge is prepared with milk so tastes very rich. The making is very easy and basic that requires only a few ingredients. Hope you would love making this  burfi with desiccated coconut
