- Add cardamom powder and walnut, mix it well cook stirring continually until mix should becomes consistency of soft dough, this should take about 2-3 minutes, turn of the heat.
- Pour the mixture into greased plate while Burfi mixture is still hot spread it evenly about 3/4-inch-thick in a square shape. Press the mixture with spatula to make it firm. Sprinkle the pistachios and lightly press.
- While Burfi is still warm cut them in about one inch square.

Dear Manjula:
Can I use dry coconut in the barfi?
yes that will work
Can jaggery be used instead of sugar?
Anupama, I have never tried if you try, please share
I loved your coconut Apple Barfi , I will try to make it with less sugar as apples are sweet & coconut is bit sweet as well. I did like your recipe of milk Barfi.
The burfi came out well but it too sweet. I used Washinton Apple.
Your recipe was such a hit! Our friends till date ask me if I am making them again ????
