Ingredients
Coconut gratings – 2 cups
Sugar – 2 cups
Milk – 1/4 cup
Cardamom Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Directions
- In a dry kadai, lightly fry the coconut gratings for two to three seconds, ensuring they remain white.
- Dissolve a little water (about 1/2 cup) into the sugar and bring to a boil. Upon boiling, introduce milk, and wait for foam-like bubbles to appear.
- Then, remove from the stove and strain. Transfer the mixture into a clean, thick-bottomed vessel and bring to a boil again.
- As it boils, add the coconut gratings and stir thoroughly. Maintain a medium flame and continue stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.
- Once done, pour it onto a greased plate.
- After cooling, cut it into your preferred shapes.
Thanks for posting the recipe. I tried this. I stirred it till it became thick. In a second, it became very loosened and could not make it solid. can you please advise. Thanks for your help on this. Happy Diwali. Best wishes
Hi Sita,
I think you have overcooked. You have to add coconut when the sugar starts boiling, no need to wait for thick consistency. When it blends well with coconut, you can remove and transfer to another plate. If you keep it on stove for more time, then the sugar gets crystalised and will not bind with coconut and break into pieces.
Kamala – You have not mentioned when to add the sugar. whether it should be powdered or simply we can add without powdering.
Hi Mythili,
It is already given in the recipe. You have to make sugar syrup and then add coconut gratings. Please check again the recipe.
