Two Coloured Coconut Barfi

Difficulty

easy

1. 1

   In a heavy bottomed vessel, cook milk, cream and grated coconut. Stir once the mixture begins to thicken.

2. 2

   Add sugar. Reduce flame and keep stirring till the mixture becomes thick and leaves the sides of the vessel.

3. 3

   Remove the vessel from heat. Divide the mixture into 2 equal parts. To one part add few drops of green food colouring and half of the cardamom powder.

4. 4

   Mix well. Lightly grease a deep metal plate. Place the green mixture in this. Spread evenly.

5. 5

   Now place the vessel containing the remaining portion on medium flame. Add in saffron milk.

6. 6

   Stir to get a nice yellow colour. While stirring, add the remaining cardamom powder. Spread this on the green layer in the plate.

7. 7

   Make the mixture even and smooth with the back of a spoon. Spread 1 or 2 edible silver foil papers on top to add to its beauty.

8. 8

   Once well set, cut into squares or diamond shapes.
