Dhania Nariyal Burfi prasad for Krishna Janmashtami - Janmashtami wishes to all! Janamashtami is a day celebrated in most parts of India. This day is also known as Krishnashtami, Saatam Aatham, Gokulashtami, Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti, Sree Jayanti . It is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, an avatar of the god Vishnu. We celebrate this day by praying and offering prasad to Lord Krishna every year.
This time my mum in law prepared this unique dry Dhania (coriander powder), Nariyal (desiccated coconut ) mixed burfi as prasad. As per her in Delhi on this auspicious day many temples offer Dhania Nariyal Panjiri Prasad, so we prepared burfi instead of panjiri with the same ingredients. When I was told by her Dhania powder (Dry Coriander Powder) in the form of Burfi, I was in a little fix and started suggesting other options for the prasad. But thankfully we decided on this delicious option, trust me you will really love it. Really easy and quick to make and delicious to have is all I want to say about this Burfi 
. Last year we prepared Sweet Churma Prasad for Janamashtami.
So why wait, hit your kitchen and pick up readily available ingredients in your kitchen and prepare this delicious Dhania Nariyal Burfi for the prasad for this Janamashtami. You can make this also in the form of Dhania Nariyal Panjiri. by not setting them in the form of burfi.
Have a blessed Janamashtami celebrations with your family and enjoy it with my Dhania Nariyal ki burfi !!
Ingredients
- - Dry Dhania (Coriander) Powder - 1 cup
- - Desiccated Coconut - 3/4 cup
- - Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
- - Water - 3/4 cup
- - Musk Melon Seeds - 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Dry roast dhania (coriander) powder and melon seeds for few seconds on medium flame and keep aside.
- Prepare sugar syrup by boiling water and adding sugar to it, keep stirring till it forms a thicker consistency than 2 strings. Sugar will leave its liquid too on heating so we kept the water quantity to just 3/4 cup.
- Once the sugar syrup is ready, add in dry coriander powder, desiccated coconut powder and melon seeds. Stir well and switch off the flame.
- Spread the mixture immediately on a greased steel plate. Gently cut the burfi in desired shape.
- Sprinkle some dry coconut on top of it.
- Allow to cool and Dhania Nariyal burfi is ready!
Notes
You can add in chopped dry fruits, roasted makhana to add in variation to this recipe.
