Here is the recipe for how to make these sweet coconut balls at home!~
This is Goddess Kali.
Ingredients:
- 3 coconuts (medium sized)-grated/shaved
- 400 grams of sugar
- 3-4 cardamoms-finely powdered
Procedure:
- Take a non-stick pan and put in all the grated coconut, sugar and powdered cardamom into the pan. Mix it well so that all the sugar gets mixed properly.
- Stir it continuously while on medium flame.
- Never cook this on high flame or else it will get burnt in the bottom due to the sugar.
- It takes almost 30-35 minutes until the consistency of the mixture becomes sticky. Once you get a sticky mixture, turn off the heat and remove the pan.
- Now you have to make the balls out of this mixture, by taking the mix in small amounts into your hand while hot and giving them a round shape by moulding the mix in between your palms.
- As a precautionary measure keep a bowl of water and keep on dipping your palm continuously so that you don't get blisters due to the hot coconut mixture.
