After a long time , I am posting sweet recipe today. This barfi is extremely rich in taste and makes a perfect sweet for any festival. The authentic recipe calls for 1 cup besan + 1 cup coconut + 1 cup milk + 1 cup ghee + 3 cups sugar. In This I reduced  the sugar level and increase the besan and coconut  Quantities.. So here is the recipe with some changes I made along the way . If you look for something easy and yet elegant then try this burfi, just make sure the consistency is right
