Dry coconut balls


Coconut and coconut products are my favourite. Not only that, I also stock up good quantities of them for my culinary use. No wonder I belong to gods own country. This time Chennai had a little harsh summer that my stock of fresh coconuts got dried up little faster. I used some of them to make coconut milk and the rest to make this delicious dessert.

Ingredients;
Dried coconuts -2
Sugar -1cup
Dried milk/milk powder -2blbs
Cardamom powder -1tsps (optional)

Method:
Cut open the coconut and discard the shells. Scrape off the brown outer covering. Grate them manually or in a blender. It must measure about two cups. Powder the sugar and combine it with the grated coconut. Heat the mixture over a low flame, stirring continuously. Initially, the sugar will melt. Then it will begin to solidify. At this stage add the dried milk and cook for few more seconds. Remove from the flame and add the cardamom powder. Divide it into equal parts and roll it out into small balls while it is still warm.
