Ingredients

300gms freshly grated coconut (you can buy the frozen variety from Asian stores or use desiccated coconut)
400ml condensed milk
5 cardamom pods (seeds only ground to a fine powder)
3 tbsp softened butter
Chopped pistachios for garnish or even cashew nuts

Steps

Line a baking dish with parchment paper. In a heavy bottom non stick pan add coconut along with condensed milk and mix well. Stir and on a low flame for 30-40 minutes. The mix will start to come together into a fudgy consistency but keep stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. At this stage add the cardamom powder and the butter.
Turn the heat off and pour into the baking dish. Press down lightly and flatten the mix with the back of your spoon. Top with chopped pistachios and cashew nuts. Cool and refrigerate overnight to allow it to set well. Cut the barfi into bite size piece and serve.
