Coconut Burfi Recipe – Coconut Barfi Recipe – Thengai Barfi Recipe

Amma is famous for her coconut barfi, whenever my cousins visit our place, the first thing which they request my mom is to make some coconut barfi. My mum makes it as a edible gift for them to take along their journey. Since it is so easy peasy to make, this barfi has taken its strong reputation in our house.

It just calls for simple everyday ingredients. You will need just coconut, some sugar and little of some extra stuff. The another cool thing about this recipe is, it needs no ghee in it. But i love to add a tsp of ghee for flavour. But actually you dont need anything, the natural oil in the coconut gives enough oilyness to the barfi.

I hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out.
