NOTES/TIPS

Freshly grated coconut gives good taste to the burfi.  But you can also use dessicated coconut.

You can also add few drops of rose essence for flavour.

Barfis stays good at room temperature for upto 2 days and in the refrigerator for a week.

Add grated carrot along with bread crumbs for making it more healthier.
