Ingredients
For Stuffing
1
Cup
Grated Fresh Coconut
½
Cup
Jaggery
¼
Teaspoon
Cardamom Powder
For Outer Layer
1
Cup
Semolina / Sooji
2
Cups
Water
1.5
Tablespoon
Sugar
1
Teaspoon

Instructions
Combine the coconut and jaggery in a pan and let the jaggery dissolves completely.
Stir continuously over medium flame until you get a thick mixture.
When the mixture thickens, add cardamom powder and mix well.
Remove it from the flame and let it cool.
To prepare the outer layer, take 2 cups of water, sugar, and a teaspoon of ghee in a vessel and bring it to a rolling boil.
Slowly add semolina to the boiling water and mix well to avoid lumps.
Reduce the flame to low and let it cook for a few minutes or until the semolina gets cooked.
Turn off the flame and let it cool down.
When the semolina mixture is warm enough to handle, grease your palms and knead the mixture to make a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and set aside.
Divide the coconut stuffing into 15 equal portions and set aside.
Flatten each dough ball and keep pressing with your greased finger to form a disc or cup.
Place the coconut stuffing ball in the center. Bring the edges together and seal it well
Repeat the same procedure until all the dough finishes.
Arrange them on steaming plates or idli plates and steam cook on high flame for 10 minutes.
Serve!
