Quick Kokosnoot Barfi

My boy had to create a presentation on Indian cuisine every bit purpose of their geography degree on the Indian subcontinent. His instructor suggested that it would last keen if I could conduct roughly fresh Indian nutrient to the degree for the students to sample. Since it was a morning time class, I idea of making a sample breakfast, i from the S too i from the north. So I made Idli too Lycopersicon esculentum Chutney from South India, too stuffed Parathas from North India. I too wanted to brand something from Kerala that represented the essence of Kerala, too what amend particular tin stand upward for Kerala amend than a kokosnoot :-). Also wanted to create a dessert too and hence decided to brand kokosnoot Barfi made amongst but two ingredients, too both ingredients based out of coconut. It is slow to brand too does non deviate from the quick'n'healthy approach. Though it is sweet, it does non conduct whatever refined sugar, I used organic kokosnoot palm sugar. Then, every bit always, I made mini-servings too hence that my son's friends don't become a saccharide rush :-).

I did non brand a large quantity. I idea kids beingness kids (and beingness picky eaters) mightiness non bask everything that I sent, peculiarly inward a degree room amongst middle-schoolers who mightiness non last good exposed to ethnic cuisines. To my delight, I was quite surprised to become dorsum a bunch of empty containers :-)

Now for the kokosnoot Barfi:

Ingredients: 

• Dried shredded kokosnoot - 1 cup 
• Organic kokosnoot palm saccharide - 1/3 cup 
• Filtered H2O - two Tbs
• Cardamom - 3-4 (peeled too powdered) 

Method: 

• Mix the saccharide too H2O too starting fourth dimension cooking inward a sauce pan on medium heat.
• Once saccharide has completely melted too the liquid is of slightly syrup consistency (in a brace of minutes) add together the kokosnoot too cardamom powder. 
• Continue cooking on low-medium oestrus stirring continuously. After almost 4-5 minutes, y'all volition run across that everything form of starting fourth dimension to come upward together too is separating from the sauce pan.
• You tin take from open fire too piece of job on stirring for 3-4 minutes to a greater extent than too hence that it does non stick to the pan.
• There are multiple ways inward which y'all tin serve this. 
1. Grease a shallow tray amongst kokosnoot crude oil (or ghee) too spread the mix too press evenly. Keep aside for 20-30 minutes too cutting into desired shapes too sizes. 
2. Press them into H2O ice molds or chocolate molds too popular them out afterwards 20-30 minutes. 
3. Just coil them into balls too piece of job on aside for 20-30 minutes.
• Whichever agency y'all choose, brand certain y'all create it spell the mix is all the same warm,else it volition non concord the shape. If y'all wish to brand larger quantity I would propose that y'all create it inward batches.
