COCONUT SWEET
Ingredients:
1. Coconut [one]
2. Sugar
3. Water
4. Cardamom [two]
5. Clarified butter [ghee] 4 tablespoons.
6. Cashew nut[optional]
7. Raisins[optional]
Method:
Scrape the insides of the coconut after breaking it into two pieces. Grind it well in a mixer without adding water. Measure it. Take exact amount of sugar and melt it in a pan by adding water, which should just immerse the sugar. Stir the sugar till it has completely melted and become a little thick. Now add a little amount of clarified butter [ghee] into the syrup and slowly add the coconut. Stir it continuously, till the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan. Mix powdered cardamom to get a rich flavour. Spread it evenly on a plate {smear the plate earlier with clarified butter [ghee].}.Decorate with cashew nuts or raisins. Cut into pieces with a small knife, square or diamond that’s your choice. Have a happy time licking your fingers.
