Steps for preparation

  • Take a heavy bottomed pan and keep it on flame. Then mix the grated coconut and (1/2cup) sugar in that pan and allow the sugar to melt. In between stir continuously to avoid burning.
  • After some time it will look like a little thick in consistency,then add cardamom(1/2tsp) powder into it ans mix well and cook for another two minutes. After that turn off the flame and keep that pan aside to cool .Then shape the mixture into round oval shape balls..
  • Take another saucepan and pour (2cups) of water into it and put on the flame to boil. Then add (2 pinch) salt (optional) and cardamom powder into the water. 
  • Then add the rest (2tsp.) sugar into it and bring to boil properly.
  • Then after a minute add semolina slowly slowly into the water and  at the same time stir continuously to avoid forming of lumps.  Then reduce the flame to low and allow it to cook for another couple of minutes and you will find a thick mixture of semolina and water.
  • Now keep the mixture on a flat plate to cool properly. After half minute take a little ghee and kneed it well.
  • Grease your  hands and divide the dough into equal portions. Then flatten the dough balls (each) with your palm and place the coconut ball (stuffing) in the middle of them and cover it from all side properly. You will get better idea from the below picture.
