Hi, My daughter and I have just made your recipe for a school project. How long will the Burfi keep for and I have assumed that it would need to be kept in a fridge or is that not the case?
Person   ()
It will stay good at room temperature for 1 day. If you intent to keep it longer and fresher, refrigerate it. It stays good in the fridge for a week.

    Hi archana. Usually 1 can of condensed milk sweetness for 2 cups of grated cocunut is enough.If you want more sweetness add sugar after mixing cocunut with condensed milk.Saute for 2 mins and switch off the stove.
