- Then add the milk. Heat the milk for a minute.
- Cook on low flame and stir continuously while the milk is heating.
- Take another pan and dry roast the desiccated coconut on low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Once the milk begins to thick, add milk powder in two batches.
- Mix together continuously and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Make sure no lumps are formed.
- Then add sugar and tutti frutti. Mix well combined.
- At this point, don’t increase the flame and keep stirring continuously, else it might stick to the pan.
- After sometime the mixture will begin to thicken and will separate from the pan. Once it forms into a ball-like structure, Turn off the flame.

Notes
- Make sure the flame is not very high while making the barfi, as this mixture might stick to the pan.
- Cook the barfi mixture till it forms into a ball-like structure and ghee starts leaving the sides of the mixture , else it won’t set properly and will become sticky.
- Check the right consistency, take a pinch, roll it, if it forms a ball, then it means the mixture is ready to make burfi.
- You can also add cardamom powder to give flavour.
- Do not cook on high heat else the mixture will stick to the pan
