For Tropical Fruit Chutney :
1 cup roughly chopped mixed fruits (pineapple, oranges, grapes, dried currants, strawberries etc)

Method : 

For Fruit Chutney - Combine the fruits and sugar in a thick pan and cook on medium flame till tender. Mix well. Add some water to obtain smooth chutney consistency.

For Burfi -  Crush khoya in a thick pan and add sugar. Mix well. Cook on a slow flame till sugar dissolves. Don’t overcook khoya. Remove from flame and add desiccated coconut. Mix well. Grease ring mould/trays with ghee. Set half the mixture in greased ring moulds or trays. Spread the dry fruit mixture evenly on top and cover with remaining khoya coconut mixture.
