Notes

  1. can also use the fresh coconut. But while grating it, do keep in mind that you have to discard brown part of coconut for making this coconut barfi recipe.
  2. If you add powdered sugar, it will dissolve more conveniently into the mixture. So preferably add that one. However there's no issue with the granulated one.
  3. In the perfect making of this coconut barfi recipe, the consistency of final mixture is very important. If your mixture is under cooked, it will remain sloppy and if it is overcooked, it will become powdered.
  4. So if your barfi is sloppy and not properly set even after refrigeration, cook it more. And if it is like powdered one, add little milk to maintain consistency.
  5. You can keep your coconut barfi recipe totally white by avoiding the red food colour.
