Nariyal Khoya Barfi

No Indian festivity is fully adored & complete without delicious indian sweets (Mithai). Diwali (Festival of lights) is only 8 days away, the countdown begins.

I aim to share as much as possible quick & easy, inviting & super delicious festive recipes.

In fact, the journey of Indian mithais dates back to the ancient mythological period. The tradition of making mithai during festivals probably comes from the ritual of preparing Bhog or Prasad which is offered to God.

This Nariyal Khoye ki Barfi is super simple to assemble with just pantry ingredients.

Notes

Alternative to Khoya;
Knead milk powder with just enough warm milk to deliver a rolling dough consistency. Rest in refrigerator for 1-2 hours before use.

One can add heavy cream for extra richness (optional).

Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk if required for a workable texture.

I prefer low tones of sugar in my recipe, adjust the sweetness to taste.

One can select the texture of desiccated coconut to choice, I personally prefer coarse cut.

Raisins & nuts to preference. Skip nuts for any allergy.
