Coconut Barfi
Ingredients
1/2 tsp saffron threads
200 mls milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cardamom pods, split seeds crushed
2 cups dessicated (dry) coconut
Pistachios, chopped, to garnish
Method
Soak the saffron threads in 1 tablespoon of the milk. Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan until it comes to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, (avoid scalding the milk), add the sugar and cardamom and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Add the coconut and saffron/milk mix and stir thoroughly to ensure there are not lumps. Cook on a low heat for 4-5 minutes stirring.
Spread the mixture into a greased square dish and allow to cool before cutting into small squares. Garnish each square with chopped pistachios.
