Kobbari mithayi or Coconut burfi

Kobbari means dried Coconut and Mithayi means sweets. Though the name says Kobbari / Dry coconut, the recipe is originally made from grated fresh Coconuts. Whenever we would visit temples, we would offer Coconuts to the god. After the pooja , we would get the coconuts back as Prasaada. These coconuts were used to make any sweets and distributed in the family. Kobbari mithaayi/ Coconut burfis would be the most made one at our homes, as it's very easy and quick to make. It would taste so heavenly and we would crave for more and more. Though the original recipe is made with fresh coconut, in this post , I will be sharing the burfis made of dessicated coconut.
