Ingredients

• 2 cups Desiccated coconut
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
• 1 teaspoons Ghee (clarified butter)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoons Edible food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick pan on low flame and add 1 teaspoon of ghee.

Step 2

Add the desiccated coconut to the pan and lightly toast it for 1-2 minutes until it becomes aromatic. Be careful not to brown it.

Step 3

Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix well to combine with the toasted coconut.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the cardamom powder and continue stirring the mixture on low flame for 2-3 minutes until it thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan.

Step 5

If you’re using edible food coloring, add it at this stage and stir until the color is evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until it is comfortable to handle.

Step 7

Grease your hands with a little ghee and take small portions of the mixture to roll them into round balls or shape as desired.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish each sweet with chopped nuts by pressing them gently on top.

Step 9

Place the coconut sweets on a plate or tray and allow them to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
