Coconut Burfi

Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The coconut provides a nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished populations around the world for generations. Coconut is used for cooking various dishes. Here I prefer Coconut Burfi, a very simple and less expensive dish, it does not require much ghee as the coconut is already rich in fats. This sweet dish is very popular among the Indians.
