Coconut Barfi

Coconut Barfi is that one sweet you’ll want to keep making all Shravan long; it is quick, simple, and packed with vrat-friendly goodness. Made without onion or garlic, this rich, fudgy sweet is loaded with the natural flavor of fresh coconut and fragrant spices like cardamom and nutmeg, perfect for upvas days.

To make this, you just need a handful of ingredients—fresh grated coconut, ghee, desiccated coconut, milk, milk powder, sugar, and warming spices. Cook it all together until it forms a soft, sticky mixture, then set it in the fridge for a few hours to firm up. Garnish with pistachio powder and saffron for that festive finish. Whether it’s a weekday fast or a weekend indulgence, this one’s a crowd-pleaser.
