  1. This recipe yielded 30 burfies of the size captured in the above picture.
  2. If you want this to be more rich you can increase the quantity of cashew nuts and lessen the coconut.
  3. Do not add more milk than mentioned, else it is difficult to get the shapes.
  4. My mother in law always follow a trick to get perfect burfis in the last minute. She adds extra 2-3 tblsp of sugar in the last and then the burfis will hold a nice shape.
  5. This coconut cashew burfi can stay for 15  days in normal room temperature.

  1. I LOVE your blog, Jeyashri! Please don't ever stop or take it down. Your simple instructions and clear photos make it look so much less daunting. I look forward to trying some of your recipes. In the mean time, I bless the day I was referred to your blog 🙂

  2. Thank you for the recipe. However, I have to say, when I made this, 2 cups of sugar was way too much. I would suggest using 1/2 to 2/4 cup. Also, the recipe calls for 1.5 tbsp flour. Looks a lit more in your photo?

    • the recipe is given by my mil and made by her also. Sugar if u feel more, feel free to adjust. Also the flour we always measure in the proper measuring spoon. May be close up pic is showing like that.
