ghee (Clarified butter) - 3 tablespoon
Red apples - 3 heaped cups, coarsely grated
Milk powder - 1 cup
Sugar - ¾ cup
Cardamom powder - ½ teaspoon
Saffron - a pinch (steeped in 1 tablespoon warm milk or water)
Salt - a pinch
Pistachios - 2 tablespoon, chopped
Almonds - 2tbsp, chopped
Dried rose petals - 1 tablespoon

METHOD

Melt the ghee (Clarified butter) in the same pan. Add grated apples and cook, stirring often. The fruit will let out some liquid, you need to cook till it is fairly dry.
Then add the toasted coconut, milk powder, sugar, cardamom powder, salt and saffron. Mix well and cook till the mixture becomes fairly dry and comes together to form a soft, fudgy mass. This will take another 10 minutes or so. At this point, you will see the ghee (Clarified butter) separating at the sides.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and smooth the top with a spoon. Sprinkle chopped nuts and rose petals evenly on top and press down slightly with a spoon.
Allow it to cool down to room temperature, then cover the tray with cling wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Cut the burfi into bars and serve. Burfi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Toast the coconut in a large skillet or saute pan on medium-low heat for a minute. Do not brown, you just need to bring of the nuttiness of the coconut. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
