Coconut Barfi Thengai

🇮🇳 Indian

Three-ingredient coconut barfi, the South Indian sweet that sets in twenty minutes. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Best after resting an hour; the flavours settle.

Prep 21 min Cook 34 min Serves 5 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    Combine the grated coconut with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Stir in the green cardamom with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

A heavy pan is the difference between toasty and burnt.
