Sugary sweets are always calorie rich. But once a while we can have this delicious burfi. Especially for festivals like Diwali, this is one of the unique treat to your family and friends.

Method:
- Grease a tray with ghee and set it aside
- In a pan, add the ghee. Add grated coconut and carrot and saute in ghee for 4-5 minutes till the raw smell of the carrot goes off and you get a nice aroma. Take this aside
- In another pan, add sugar and water. Allow the sugar to get dissolved. Add cardamom Powder
- Keep stirring the sugar syrup till the syrup gets thicken up and forms a one string consistency. If you take a drop of syrup and rub between your thumb and index finger, then a string should form, this is the right consistency
- Once the one-string consistency is formed, add the carrot-coconut mixture and start stirring

- Switch off the flame and pour the mixture to the greased tray. Grease the back of a spoon with ghee and level the mixture in the tray. Allow it to cool off and then cut into square shaped pieces
- Store the delicious carrot Coconut Burfi in an air-tight container and enjoy the sweet!
