Barfi in India literally means a sweet, and this sweet is made with coconuts!
This is a decadent but quick & easy dessert made all over Indian during festive season. Medium Chain Triglycerides from coconut are easily converted to energy and it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level.
Its made with ghee guys – the super fat which contains short chain fatty acids that promote fat burning from stubborn fat areas i.e midsection, sugar – fear not!
We have two ingredients here which lower the glycemic Index, coconut and ghee – so smile and enjoy this delicacy- one piece at a time because isn’t life beautiful in moderation?
