Wish you all a very happy Deepavali.
I was thinking to post few recipes before Deepavali this year but lately I have been so busy at work and with kids, it has become impossible to sit down to write something!. My parents are visiting us for a short time and I am celebrating the festival with them after a very long time. We didn’t do much this year but having them with us in itself is a huge blessing. Aayi made a few dishes last week and someone pointed out on FB that this recipe was not on the blog. Yes, I have reached a point where I forget what is there on the blog :). Aayi brought some delicious coconut jaggery burfis (soyi khadi) with her from India. They were delicious, melt in the mouth and fragrant.
Coconut burfis – soyi khadis can be made with sugar or jaggery. I don’t remember this variety as much as the white sugar variety or the black variety with liquid jaggery (molasses/pattal goad). The batch aayi brought got over in a week, so we made a fresh batch for Deepavali.
Pictorial:
Coconut Jaggery Burfi (Soyi Khadi)

- 5-6 cardamom pods
Instructions
- Apply ghee to a plate or wooden board and rolling pin, keep aside.

Notes
OMG I am definitely going to try to make this this weekend! Looks delicious.
I was actually trying to search “sandige” in google just to find where I can buy them and ended up in “Aayis Recipes”. i have read over a couple of threads from past 2 hours and this looks great. I feel i should go home right away and ask my mom to prepare them. luckily, I am in bangalore and it takes only 8 hours to reach mangalore. will be back to see new posts….

I made these burfis ( khadi) once using patal god . It became very dry . Second time I made it using regular jaggery . Then too it became very dry . I don’t know where I went wrong ☹️. Can you please suggest.
I think it is getting cooked for too long. Can you try taking it out little early?
