Coconut Toffee
by Tarla Dalal
Sweetened grated coconut has an unfailing charm, whether it is made as a traditional mithai or as an enticing toffee. Here is a wonderful Coconut Toffee made of grated coconut and condensed milk, along with some walnuts for a crunchy touch.
The mild chewiness and rich flavour of this toffee is really mind-blowing. Keep the greased tin ready before you start cooking, and at step 2, make sure you keep stirring the mixture without letting it stick to the pan and get burnt.
