90 min total8 servings

Ingredients

  • Apple - 2 cup
  • Sugar - 2 cup
  • Coconut - 3 cup
  • Ghee - 2 tbsp
  • Lime juice - 1/2 tsp
  • Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
  • Ginger juice - 1 tsp
  • Condensed milk - 1 tbsp
  • Cashew nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1Grate the apples and the coconut, or use pre-grated coconut if you prefer; set them aside so everything is ready at the stove.
  2. 2Heat the ghee in a wide pan over medium heat, then add the grated apple, sugar and grated coconut and stir continuously until the sugar melts completely and the mixture begins to come together.
  3. 3Stir in the lime juice, ginger juice and cardamom powder, mixing thoroughly so the spices are evenly distributed and fragrant.
  4. 4Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the fruit mixture dries slightly and comes together in the pan.
  5. 5Add the condensed milk and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
  6. 6Remove the pan from the heat and quickly spread the hot mixture evenly into a greased pan; press the cashew nuts into the surface so they stick and look attractive.
  7. 7Let the burfi cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before removing from the pan and cutting into pieces.
  8. 8Store the cut burfi in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
