#FA Coconut burfi or thenga burfi is one of my most favorite sweet treats ever. I’ve only ever had it homemade with freshly grated coconut, flavored with freshly pounded green cardamom, and sweetened with sugar. The texture, smell and taste of fresh coconut burfi is something I can conjure up from my memories at any time. It is such an integral part of my childhood and still remains one of my favorite treats ever.
