COCONUT KAJU SHEERA

Coconut Kaju sheera

I have a sweet tooth and after every meal would like to have some kind of sweet.  If nothing is there… I would end up having bourvita or horlicks or kishmish.  I made coconut sheera with jaggery and it came out good.  This can be had as a halwa and simply cut it into 2” square and take it as barfi.

INGREDIENTS

Coconut (Scrapped)

1 cup
Kaju 1/2 cup
Jaggery 1/2 cup
Cardamom 1/2 tsp
Ghee 1 1/2 tbsp

 

METHOD

  • Toast kaju slightly and grind into a coarse powder.
  • Heat Ghee in a pan, sauté coconut on a low heat for about 10 minutes or till most of the moisture in the coconut evaporates.
  • Add the ground kaju powder and mix well and let it simmer for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Add jaggery and keep stirring till it melts and the mixture becomes thick and start to leave the sides.
  • Sheera is ready.  You can either serve it as halwa or pour the mixture into a greased plate and cut it into square or diamond shape and serve as barfi.
