How to Cook Kobbari Mithai (Coconut Burfi)
- Mix the grated coconut and sugar well using your hands and then set aside for about 30 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve. Place the mixture into a saucepan on a low heat and stir until it forms a single mass (takes about 15-20 minutes). Add the powdered cardamom and the raisin-cashew-almond mixture (you can adjust this mixture to suit your own tastes) and mix well.
- Use the butter to grease a plate and spoon the mixture onto it. Spread evenly and allow to cool for 5 minutes. While it is still warm, using a knife, cut the Kobbari Mithai into the desired shapes then allow to cool completely. If you can resist eating it straight away, store in an airtight container.

Take care to ensure that you are careful while cooking the grated coconut as it can burn quickly. Keep the heat as low as possible.

What To Eat Tonight

Dim the room, light the candles and prepare for something very special and perfect for a romantic evening. Guaranteed to light your fires.

Indian food is now the most popular type of food takeaway in Britain. And not without reason because good Indian food is quite sublime.

The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.
Other Desserts Recipes

Orange and Honey Fluff is a neat little dessert that is so simple that children can make it for the adults to eat! One of my all-time favorites!

Chocolate Mousse is one of those "luxury" desserts that are very simple to make, as long as you take your time.

If you're a fan of hot chocolate sauce, Profiteroles in hot Chocolate are a great dessert. AND they just melt in the mouth.
