Last weekend I had gone home (Coimbatore). Learnt this receipe from my paati.
It didn't turn out to be perfect (Culprit: ME). I delayed in pouring the mixture to the buttered plate and it hardened fast. So what happened? I didn't get the perfect shapes. But who cares about the shape as long as the taste is good! (I am going to try the receipe again soon to prove that i can get the shape right).. So lets start.
What You Need?
Coconut( Fresh and Grated)
Sugar (Same measure as grated coconut)
Elachi Powder
Broken and Fried Cashews
Le Method:
Heat a pan with water and pour the sugar in it. Let it melt. The water proportion depends. Start with less water and later if you feel you need more water to immerse the grated coconut, add.
Add eleachi powder and broken-fried cashews.
NOTE: Never boil the sugar and coconut together. It will harden in seconds and what more.. you don't want to break your teeth.
When you see that the sugar is melted, add the grated coconut and stir continuously. Keep doing it till the coconut mixes well with the sugar syrup and starts to slowly turn into a non-watery mass.
Take a flat plate, spread some butter on it and empty the mixture on this plate. Never let it cool for a long time. It will harden so much that it will again threaten your teeth. So just leave it in the plate for a minute and with a help of a knife cut it into nice squares. Tada.
