Coco-Nut Burfi (Quick Fix)

I remember the pink coconut candy & “matrimony” (cashew nut candy) that my mother used to make for Christmas.  Aunty Esmy was an expert at this & my mother learnt it from her. This recipe is something in betweeen these two, using both coconut & cashew nuts & coloured with beet root instead of artificial colours. 

 

INGREDIENTS:

Coconut: 150 g grated fine

Cashew nuts: 150 g powdered

Condensed milk: 1 tin (400 g)

Milk powder: 5 tbsps

Beet root: 1 tbsp grated

Cardamom: 3 powdered

 Ghee: to grease a tray

METHOD:

In a non stick pan, mix coconut, cashew nut powder, condensed milk, beet root, milk powder & cardamom powder.

Put pan on the stove & heat up.

Stir till it becomes a soft ball ( takes about 10 to 12 minutes)

Transfer onto a greased tray, cool & cut into pieces.
