I learnt this coconut burfi recipe from my mother. I love this sweet a lot. So I keep preparing it often. Since kayi burfi or coconut burfi is a very easy and simple dessert, even the beginners can try and enjoy!!

Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup grated coconut (pressed)
- 3/4 cup jaggery
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 2 cardamoms
- Plate or tray greased with ghee
Instructions for making kayi or coconut burfi recipe:
- Take grated coconut and cardamom in a mixie jar.
- Add in required water and grind the coconut until smooth. I have used half cup of water.
- Add in jaggery and grind it again. You can dissolve the jaggery in water, filter it and then use the jaggery water to grind to remove the impurities from jaggery.
- Transfer the ground coconut and jaggery into a pan and keep it for boiling.
- Meantime grease a plate or tray with ghee.
- Keep stirring the mixture continuously under medium flame. Within 4 - 5 minutes and mixture will start turning thick.
- At this stage add a tbsp of ghee and continue stirring under medium flame.
- When the mixture comes together and turns little whitish in colour, it is done.
- Transfer it into a greased plate or tray. Level the surface using the back of a greased spoon.
- Wait until excess heat is reduced and cut it into pieces using a knife.
- Take it out, once it is completely cool. Take out the pieces and store it in an air tight container.
