Ingredients

• 1 Freshly grated coconut
• 250 grams Sugar
• 1 litre Milk

• ¼ tsp Cardamom powder (Elaichi)

Directions

1. 1Mix the freshly grated coconut with milk in a heavy bottom pan for about 15 – 20 minutes on a slow flame.
2. 2Stir continuously with a spatula until all the milk is absorbed by the coconut.
3. 3Add the fresh cream to the mixture.
4. 4Add the sugar and mix well to make a ball like mass of the entire mixture which has good binding. At the right consistency, the mixture should not be sticky to touch.
5. 5Add 2 spoons of powdered sugar and cardamom powder at the end to the entire mixture after removing it from the flame.
6. 6Grease a plate with ghee and spread the mixture in an even and thick layer on it while it’s still warm. You can use the flat side of a katori ( bowl) greased with ghee to evenly spread the mixture.
7. 7Cut this into rectangular pieces while it’s warm.
