Kopra pak recipe

Kopra pak recipe – This Gujarati style of making coconut burfi. This sweet or mithai is made from freshly grated coconut, sugar, milk and mawa.

This is the EASY recipe. Dump all in the pan and cook till it gets thick and lumpy. Then set in the pan to cool. Then cut into pieces and eat. This cannot be simpler than this.

Basically this is nothing but the coconut burfi. There is another way of making it which call for one string consistency of sugar syrup. This method is little tricky for beginners, so try this simple kopra pak recipe.

Since diwali is near, I have made this 2 days ago. Let’s see how long it lasts. This is dear hubby’s favorite sweet, so I guess he will finish this up in couple of days. 🙂
