Here is the recipe of Carrot burfi to share with you all!

• Preparation time: 35 - 40 minutes
• Difficulty level: Difficult
• Serves: 20 - 25 pieces

Ingredients:

• Grated carrot - 1 cup
• Grated coconut - 1 cup
• Semolina / sooji rava - 1 cup
• Sugar - 1 1/4 cup
• Ghee / clarified butter - 2/3 cup
• Fresh / whipping cream - 1 cup
• Cardamom and cloves powder - 1/4 tsp (optional)

Recipe Instructions:

• Pulse grind the grated coconut in a mixie jar for 3 - 4 seconds to make even and fine crumbs. 
• Take a heavy bottom pan, add 2/3rd cup of ghee and allow to melt on small or medium flame. 
• Once the ghee melts, add 1/2 cup of sooji rava and roast it for 2 minutes. 
• Then add 1 cup of grated carrot and sauté it for 2 minutes or till the raw smell goes away. 
• To this, add the sugar and cream and continue stirring the mixture to avoid burning. 
• Cook it till it thickens and starts leaving the bottom of the pan. You can notice the mixture bubbling up and color turning to a bit pale whitish. For me, it took 35 minutes to reach to this stage.

• Turn off the flame, and spread the burfi mixture evenly on a greased plate. 
• Cut them into desired shapes when its still warm.
