Not Raffaello or coconut burfi


I attempted to make coconut burfi, but I got it wrong. But this 'fiasco' was VERY tasty and I had none left after 2 hours!!
5 years later, I did succeed!

Ingredients for 'not raffaello':
Milk - 1 cup
Coconut grated (fresh) - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp + some more for greasing plate
Dried desiccated coconut - 5 tbsp

Method:
Soak the fresh grated coconut in milk for a minimum of 2 hours.
Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add 1 tbsp of ghee.
Turn off flame and move the ghee around to coat the vessel.
Now add the soaked coconut with all the milk and sugar.
Cook till the mixture starts behaving like 'lava' bubbles. (making small cones and the top opening up?)
Add 1 tbsp of ghee and mix well.
Transfer to a greased tray.
Once cooled, make balls and roll on the dessicated coconut.

Try another recipe with the same ingredients but in different quantity.
Time consuming, but worth the effort.
It is called the 1-2-3-4 sweet.
Or make the coconut burfi.
