I live with someone who avoids sugar. Is Agave or Maple Syrup a possible replacement for this recipe. I am sure with the coconut it will add some natural sweetness as well. Thank you for your help. stephanie dohstml-at-yahoo Hi,

I too prepare this one - 3 cups sugar + 1 cup besan+ 1 cup grated coconut+ 1 cup ghee+ 1cup milk. 1 cup is missing in 7 cups it seems.

In my case, I don't know what went wrong. Before the sugar could melt, the besan became really dark, close to being burnt. I had to toss the whole batch:-( Looks beautiful, Indira.

When powdered sugar was added, it does not melt untill I added few teaspoons of water. I think thats a very important step forgot to add to the recipe. Finally, the recipe came out with excess ghee flowing out of the cake. I tried this exactly the way recipe was given.

However I must agree to one of the above users - the burfi was overly sweet even though I used only 21/2 cups of sugar instead of 3. I think 2 cups of sugar would be just fine.
