Ingredients
  • 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup of desiccated coconut
  • ½ cup of desiccated coconut for rolling
  • 1 tsp of butter or ghee
  • 7 raw almonds,chopped
  • 2 cardamon crushed
Instructions
  1. Heat the ghee and toast the almonds till it turns golden. Drain and keep it aside.
  2. To the same pan, add the 1 cup of desiccated coconut. Toast for a minute.
  3. To the same pan, pour the condensed milk on it. Mix well and cook on low flame.
  4. Cook it until the mixture quite thick and starts to roll like a ball. It will take around 7-10 mins.
  5. Add the roasted almonds, cool the mixture but not make it really cold. Cool it little so that you cna handle by hand.
  6. Just apply ghee in your hand, make round balls by taking that mixture in your hand.
  7. Roll this balls in the ½ cup of desiccated coconut. And keep it aside.
  8. You can store them in airtight container upto four days. I refrigerate them as it is coconut based dish.
Notes
1. If you have doubt to when you can switch off the heat, it is when the spatula will refuse to get stir any more and mixture will almost stick to your spatula.
2. you can also use fresh coconut but you cant store it for long time. So i prefer to use dessicated coconut. And also you have to cook the fresh coconut for a longer time since fresh coconut can be more moist.
