Carrot Coconut burfi (Carrot-flavored Coconut Indian fudge) is a nice twist to our traditional Coconut burfi and Carrot Halwa. I am sure we all have grown up eating coconut burfi and could be a favorite to many of us. Addition of some fresh juicy Carrot to it not only gives nice twist to the burfi but also makes it more tasty.

This burfi is easy to make, addictive, and perfect for festivals, weddings, and special occasions.

Carrot burfi is prepared with a combination of Grated Carrot, Fresh Grated Coconut , Sugar , ghee and cardamom powder. Just throw everything inside the pan and keep stirring until you get the perfect consistency . That’s the only tricky part of this recipe- “the right consistency”. If you undercook the dough, the burfis won’t set and if you overcook it gets harder and chewy .

Things to note While making Carrot Coconut Burfi :

My Burfi Didn’t set ?

This means the burfi mixture is under cooked.

Put it back on heat , cook on low heat for few more minutes and then set . Stir the mixture for few more minutes till the halwa mixture becomes a single mass , ghee oozes and it leaves the pans . Go ahead and cook until the mixture gets slightly thick and ghee oozes out.

My burfi became very hard , crumbly while making pieces , why?

You probably over-cooked the mixture by few minutes .

How long does the burfi stay good ?

Burfi stays good outside for 2 weeks. After that you can refrigerate and use for few more days.

Can i use desiccated coconut instead of Fresh one ?

Yes , you can use . But for this burfi , fresh ones taste best .

Can i skip Carrot ?

Instead of carrot , you can use grated beetroot . Tastes equally good .
