Besan or gram flour- 1 cup or 240gm

Freshly grated coconut- 1 cup

Method
• Grease a plate or tray with ghee and keep aside
• Heat a tsp of ghee in a thick bottomed wok. Add the gram flour and fry till the flour is fragrant and keep aside.
• In the same wok, heat the remaining ghee, add the milk and sugar and mix till the sugar is dissolved.
• Stir in the coconut and gram flour and mix on low flame for 5 to 10min. At this point you will see the mixture start to bubble.
• Keep stirring the mixture by scraping the sides to avoid burning.
• Continue with the mixing till the mixture thickens and it begins to leave sides.
• Keep mixing till the mixing process becomes difficult. At this stage, stir in the powdered cardamom and saffron and mix well.
• Take off the heat and tip the contents to the greased tray and flatten the mixture with a spatula.
• Allow the mixture to cool for a few seconds before cutting them into desired shapes.
• Leave it undisturbed till the burfi is cooled completely and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
