Ingredients
2 cups coconut scrapped
1 cup coconut coarsely shredded
1 -1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cardamom powder

Method
Mix both types of coconut in a large heavy pan.
Add milk and cook till bubbles appear.
Continue cooking, stirring continuously, for 10-12 minutes.
Simultaneously, boil sugar in 1/2 cup water to make 2-1/2 thread syrup. (refer sugar syrup)
Pour into coconut, stirring gently and continuously.
Add butter, and continue stirring, till a soft lump is formed.
Empty into greased large plate, pat even very lightly.
Cool and cut into squares.
Cool and set completely before transferring to container.
Store in airtight containers.
Note: Never use the brown skin of the coconut while grating, or scrapping. Use
the whitest possible. Otherwise the burfi will get discolored, though taste will not differ much.
