Loved this recipe! The barfi turned out just like my grandma used to make. Thanks!
So glad you loved it! This recipe really brings back memories. 😍
I tried it but my barfi turned out too sticky. What did I do wrong?
I made this for Diwali and everyone loved it. So easy!
That’s awesome to hear! Coconut barfi is such a crowd-pleaser. Happy Diwali!
Do you really need the ghee? Can it be made without that? I’m on a diet!
You can probably make it without ghee, but it won’t taste the same. Ghee adds richness! Maybe just use less? 🤷♀️
Why use ghee? Just skip it, it should be fine. Just more coconut and milk will make it nice. 😊
I like it! But not as sweet as I thought it’d be. Maybe add more condensed milk next time? 🤷♂️
I just threw everything in a blender, didn’t even follow the steps. It was still good!
That’s awesome! Sometimes cooking is all about being creative. Glad it turned out good for you! 😊
It was ok, but too sweet for my taste. Maybe less condensed milk next time?
This was easy and quick! I used shredded coconut instead of grated and it still turned out yummy. Will make again! 👍
I don’t have ghee. Can I just use butter instead? Asking for a friend.
Coconut barfi is my favorites!! Yummy in my tummy!!
Does anyone else see the typo? It says 1/4 cup milk but I think it should be 1/2. Just saying.
Too sweet for my taste. Maybe cut down on the condensed milk next time.
I tried this yesterday, but it wouldn’t set properly. What did I do wrong?
Sounds like you might not have cooked it long enough. It needs to thicken well before you set it. Better luck next time!
Maybe you added too much milk? It can be finicky. I usually just skip the milk and it works great!
This recipe is fantastic! Just made it and it turned out delicious. My family loved it! 😍
Barfi? I thought it was a juice recipe! LOL. I still want to try it though.
I don’t know, mine didn’t set properly. It was super sticky and a mess. What did I do wrong? 🤔
I had the same issue! I think I didn’t cook it long enough. It needs to thicken more. Keep stirring until it pulls away from the pan! 😊
Maybe just let it sit out longer to cool, sometimes it sets better after more time. Or you might have too much milk? Just a thought.
So good! I added some chocolate chips to mine. Can’t go wrong with chocolate, right? 🍫
Really? Chocolate with coconut? Sounds weird to me, but whatever floats your boat! 🤷♂️
Chocolate chips sound like a delicious idea! I might try that next time. 🍫😋
Coconut is sooo yum! This is my new favorite dessert. 👍
This recipe is AMAZING! Just like my grandma used to make. Thanks for sharing!
This ain’t barfi! It’s just a coconut mishmash, lol. Never gonna convince me this is real Indian sweet!
I tried making it, but it didn’t thicken up much. What did I do wrong?
Yum! But why do you have to add so much milk? Seems like too much dairy to me.
