Ingredients for Beetroot and Coconut Burfi
- Beetroot- 1 cup grated
- Coconut - 1 cup grated
- Sugar - 1.5 cup
- Ghee - ¼ cup
- Cashews - 2 tbsp
- Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp
This one is quite a different barfi recipe, it has beetroots added in it, normally beetroots are used to make halwa, this time i made it into barfi. For burfi we need to add extra sugar which makes it set like a barfi.
I used beetroot in this one, you can use carrots instead of beetroot. The only thing is you have to cook it till it leaves the sides of the pan and ghee starts to ooze out from the pan.
How to Make Beetroot and Coconut Burfi
- Heat ghee in a pan, add in nuts and fry till golden.
- Add in beetroot and coconut and mix well. Stir fry this for 5 mins till raw smell leaves from the beets.
- Now add in sugar and keep mixing, the sugar will melt and the mix will get thick. Keep mixing.
- Once the mix starts to leave the sides, add in cardamom powder and mix well.
- Spoon this in a greased tray and spread evenly.
- Let it set, cut it into squares.
- Remove it and serve.
