Ingredients

• • A cup of desiccated coconut. Keep around 2-3 tablespoons of coconut aside for coating.

  • In a bowl, add milk and dry-roasted desiccated coconut.

  • Add cream, milk powder and cardamom powder and mix well.
  • Allow to cook for around 4-5 minutes on a medium flame, stirring occasionally.

  • Switch off the flame and transfer the mixture to a plate and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Grease the palms with a bit of ghee or oil and prepare small-sized balls in the shape of pedas (flatten round balls from the top and a small hole in the centre).
  • Roll over the desiccated coconut.
  • Garnish with pistachios or almonds and enjoy.
