    Prep Time: 15 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Makes: 10

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup Grated Fresh Coconut
    • ½ cup + 2 tbsp Sugar
    • ½ tsp Cardamom Powder

    3. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.

    7. Let it cool for sometime and knead it well. The semolina dough should be soft.
    8. Grease your hands and divide the dough into equal portions.
    9. Flatten the dough each dough ball using your palms and place the coconut stuffing in the middle. Cover it from all sides.
