    Coconut Saffron Burfi

    This is a rather short post.  Diwali is just a few days away and for all those still wondering if you want to try making any sweets at home, I've got you completely covered with this fabulous Coconut Saffron Burfi.  It's a simple homemade pleasure at its best.

    Coconut Saffron Burfi

    This one comes from my father's recipe archives and is just to die for!  In fact, it reminds me of "kalakand" with its soft grainy texture and distinctive sweet fudgy milky taste.  Saffron and pistachio give gorgeous festive colors and flavors.

    Although there is a wide variety of mithai available in the markets, there is nothing quite like making some at home, involving the family, making this a Diwali ritual that everyone looks forward too. Especially since its incredibly easy to make and doesn't need an exhaustive list of fancy ingredients.

    Here's to everyone's health and happiness with this gem of a dessert.
