Besan Burfi
Easy to Make Coconut Besan Burfi Recipe with step by step photos. Besan Ki Burfi was in my to do list, I have tasted Besan Burfi prepared by my friend. She makes Besan Ki Burfi for all special occasions at their house. But V doesn't like the authentic Besan Burfi with gram flour and lots of ghee. Hence I wanted to make Besan Burfi with some change and found this Coconut Besan Burfi recipe Here. This recipe was so simple and has our favorite coconut addition in the burfi. So immediately without any second thought tried it. The burfis turned out super good and Besan paired well with coconut and the burfis tasted so good and melts in mouth like Ghee Mysore Pak.

Keep all the ingredients ready for the recipe, then grease a tray or plate with ghee and keep aside.
Now chop cashew and badam, i pulse it in a blender to a coarse powder along with cardamom seeds.
Then heat 1/2 ghee in a pan and add besan and roast in medium heat.
Initially the ghee-besan mix will be crumbly and stiff but later it become like batter.
You need to roast till it gets bit dark yellow in color and raw smell leaves.
Once done switch off the flame and keep aside.
Then heat another pan, and add coconut powder and roast for a minute in low-medium heat and transfer it to a bowl.
After that to the same pan, add sugar and water and stir well and cook till the syrup reaches single string consistency.
With help of your thumb and finger check the syrup. There should be formation of long thin threads in syrup and it should be gooey in texture.
Then the syrup is ready and immediately switch off the stove.
And add roasted coconut mix well and then add roasted besan(by this time, it will turn to cake batter consistency) and mix well.
Then add ground or chopped nuts, cardamom powder mix well.
Now transfer the mix to the greased tray and spread it evenly with a spoon/spatula.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios or pumpkin seeds over the mixture and press them gently. Allow the barfi to set.
Within 5 minutes the burfi sets and you can Cut the Besan coconut barfi to any desired shape and size.
That's it..Delicious Coconut Besan barfi ready. Store the barfi in air tight container for almost one month.
Notes:
Roasting besan is important or the entire burfi will taste raw. The properly roasted besan will turn to batter like texture with ghee.
Do not reduce the quantity of Ghee.
Use any desired nuts or fry fruits for topping/garnishing.
The original recipe uses milk to prepare sugar syrup but I used water.
