Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup semolina flour or Brown rice flour for Glutenfree
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes dried
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil optional. Omit to make Oilfree
  • 2 Tablespoons cashew optional. Omit to make nutfree, chopped pieces
  • salt a pinch
Sugar Syrup
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar or use jaggery powder, ground
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder depends on how much you love cardamom:

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pan, dry roast the semolina on medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes until the color changes and it gets fragrant.
  2. Using a blender/processor, blend the coconut flakes to make coarse coconut flour.
  3. Add the blended coconut, coconut oil, salt and cashew pieces to the pan. Mix well and roast for 2 minutes.
  4. (Coconut oil and cashew pieces can be left out to make nut free and oilfree)
  5. Meanwhile, in another pan, make the sugar syrup.
  6. Add all syrup ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to cook at medium low until one thread consistency- 230 to 235 degrees F / 110ºc.(a few minutes).
  7. Add the hot sugar syrup to the roasting dry ingredients and mix well to form a lumpy mixture. (Best results when both contents are hot)
  8. Take off heat. Cool for 2-3 minutes and form balls - Ladoo. Spray a little water if the mixture is too crumbly.
  9. Or Press immediately into parchment lined or greased baking pan to make Burfi. (I used an 8 by 4 inch pan.) The mixture gets too crumbly as it cools. So shape when still warm-hot. Handle carefully.
  10. Cut into squares when still warm. The bars will harden as they cool.
  11. Break into pieces when cool. Store in airtight container for upto a week.

Notes

  • You can make Coconut laddoo and burfi with just Coconut and no grain. Use 1 cup coconut flakes, grind them into coarse flour. Roast for 2-3 minutes with cashews and coconut oil. Add the sugar syrup and press onto parchment.
