This is a coconut burfi easy recipe that any one can try without any fear. My coconut burfi that I have given here has no string consistency to be followed and its as simple as that.Just this very thought instantly remains me of my grandma making this coconut burfi for every possible accassion. Its a traditional recipe that uses no milk or condensed milk. You can also check coconut laddu recipe in my blog using condensed milk. My grandma never uses cashews in this sweet and its the same with me. This time I have not used any cashews. Make sure to grate the white part of the coconut leaving the brown part.I felt adding 1:1 sugar would be too much of sweet (overpowering) so I have reduced it as three fourth cup.

Notes

I have not followed any string consistency,but if you are doing that way then make 1 string consistency and then add the coconut.
This type of coconut burfis are served white,so grate and use only the white part.
I have missed adding cashews,if adding toast it golden with ghee separately and then add to this burfi.
Don’t miss stirring the burfi when in high flame or else it will burn.
