Coconut Burfi
Nostalgic memories occupies my mind whenever I think of this coconut burfi. We visit aunty's house during summer holidays. Her house is in a village and it is surrounded by lot of coconut trees.  She prepares lot of different recipes and one of the sweets which I find it every time is this coconut barfi. She is an expert in doing it and prepares it from the fresh coconut. Coconut burfi is an easy, quick and healthy dessert. My kid loves this sweet and call it as white cake. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Thengai Burfi.
