Coconut Cardamom Burfi

so i had to use my handy dictionary.com tool [btw, it has definitely become more ad-y], because i didn't know what the word desiccated meant. and emerged triumphant: dehydrated or powdered. this recipe looked cute, plus i had never seen cardamon in a dessert before.

FROM A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR (aspoonfulofsugar.com)

250g desiccated coconut

395g can sweetened condensed milk

10 cardamon pods - grind/crush seeds into a powder

handful of pistachio nuts, roughly crushed

Directions:

1. Mix 200g of the coconut & the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
2. Heat a non-stick pan on low heat & add mixture to the pan.

3. Stir over low heat until the mixture starts to dry & rolls easily into a ball. Remove from the heat. Cool for 5-10min until cool enough to handle.

4. Place the remaining coconut onto a plate. Using damp hands, roll the mixture into balls and then roll in coconut to coat.

5. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavour and texture.
