Mango coconut burfi recipe variations

This recipe can be customised to suit your requirements. You could replace corn starch with condensed milk and milk powder as binding agents and to infuse more flavours in burfi. However, you need to cook longer until the mixture gets thick and reach the desired consistency.

You could substitute ready to use mango pulp with fresh homemade mango purée (cut fresh ripe mango into cubes and blend).

Desiccated coconut could be substituted with freshly grated coconut.

Substitute ghee with coconut oil for the vegan version.
