This sweet is easy to make and doesn't require much expertise. Even for first timers the outcome is excellent. Interestingly this sweet is prepared in many states of India, though coconut is aplenty in the Southern states. Then, there are many types of making this sweet. Some people prefer to add milk powder or milk cream to bind it well. Some even use brown sugar instead of white sugar in its preparation. It can either be flavoured with cardamom powder or rose essence. Here, I have avoided milk products and used cardamom powder for flavouring.
Ingredients:
Fresh coconut grated -2cups
Sugar -2cups
Cardamom powder -2tsps
Clarified butter -1tsp for greasing
Method:
Grease a plate with clarified butter and set it aside.
Powder the sugar and combine it with the grated coconut. Place over a medium flame and stir cook for few minutes. The sugar will melt initially and starts thickening. Keep cooking for another few seconds till the coconut mixture is blended well. Remove from the stove and add the cardamom powder. Pour on the greased plate. Tap the plate to even it out. Cool and cut it into desired shape.
