Ingredients for burfi:

• 2 cups freshly grated coconut

• 1 and 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

• kewra essence (optional)

• 1 tsp ghee

Method for burfi:

1. Warm ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Sauté grated coconut for 2-3 minutes on low flame, making sure it does not brown.

2. Add sugar and mix well. Sugar will dissolve and combine with grated coconut.

3. Cook for 7-8 minutes on medium flame. Add cardamom powder and mix well.

4. Transfer into a greased tray and press it down to form a square shape. Leave it aside for 15 minutes.

5. While the mixture is warm, cut into squares. Serve and enjoy.

6. Can be kept in an air-tight container for a week.

Coconut Ladoo:

Same ingredients and methods as burfi, but please add 2-3 tbsp milk along with sugar. Let mixture cool and form ladoos with your hand like below.
