Instructions
- 1

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the work surface and grease it using a brush dipped in ghee or melted butter. Place the white coconut and nuts mixture on it and roll it into a log. After the shape it into a long cuboid. Wrap it in the parchment paper and freeze for 5 minutes to set.

Meanwhile, place the second portion of the dough on greased parchment paper. Slightly flatten it with the heel of your palm and then cover it with another parchment paper.Roll the dough to about a 1/4 inch thick sheet. You may trim edges to make a rectangle or keep it like this. Place the previously prepared cuboid on the longer side of the rolled sheet.

Start folding the rolled dough while pressing it lightly so that it sticks with the white cuboid. Make sure to seal the edges, and freeze it for about 10 minutes.

Once chilled and set, remove the parchment paper. Decorate the top with edible sliver/golden leaves. Spread some crushed pistachios on the parchment paper and roll the cuboid on it and coat it with the pistachios.

Trim the ends and cut the cuboid into 1/4 inch slices. I got around 12 burfi rolls from this. Coconut burfi rolls stay fresh for up to one week when stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
