Naarail is coconut and a mithai or ladoo made with this is always welcome. I am actually very fond of coconut. In the previous marathon I made Nariyal Badaam ke Ladoo, I also made Nariyal ki Chakki , but this one is a typical Sindhi mithai and my choice for the alphabet ‘N’ in our Journey through the Cuisines.
 
During the festival of Diwali lot of sweets are made in Sindhi homes. The sweets are not restricted to Sindhi sweets, but this coconut mithai is kind of must. There is no particular reason , but somehow it is always there.
 
While making this sweet I decided to make it just like our Sindhi sweet confectioner – Bharat Sweets of Delhi. He makes a two layered mithai, pink and white. Infact some of us call it pink mithai. The home made mithai has a good shelf life, if stored well.

  1. I don't use khoya that much and so don't keep stock of it. Otherwise I would have run into kitchen and started preparing this. The pink layer adds an interesting dimension to the burfi.
