    During weddings, along with these, dry fruit slivers are arranged on a big thaal or a plate and is sent to the groom’s family as a token to mark the beginning of the celebration. Nariyal Ki Barfi is soft, gooey and ambrosial.

    Also, it is so easy to make that I end up making a batch of this treats and store them. While preparing Nariyal Ki Barfi, just make sure to keep the consistency of sugar syrup in check and you will nail this recipe.

    Here is how to make this simple yet very delicious Nariyal Ki Barfi, hurry, read its recipe and get started to prepare it at home:   It’s been really long since I made some Indian sweet after Lauki Ki Kheer.

    As I have a sweet tooth, I believe you don’t need to wait for a festival or an occasion to indulge yourself with a sweet.  

    Having said that, today, I present an easy to make recipe of delicious Nariyal Ki Barfi. Nariyal ki Barfi or Coconut Fudge is a must make sweet for almost any occasion you could imagine in the Mathur clan.

    It is also called Pili Barfi as it is yellow in color. Nariyal Ki Barfi is decked with silver foil, saffron strands, which makes it more rich and toothsome.
