  • Grease the plate or thali with ghee. Then transfer the white coconut mixture into greased pan and spread it evenly. Also, top with a white layer of pink coconut and spread it evenly.
  • Top it up with sliced almonds and pistachios slits. Press nuts a little bit so it sticks to burfi.
  • Let it cool completely and then divide it into square pieces.

  • If kopra pak is hard then add 2 tbsp milk and cook it for 5 minutes on low flame so it will become soft.
