• 1/2 cup Fresh coconut grated
• 1 1/2 cups Fine semolina (barik rawa)
• 75 millilitres Pure ghee
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Method

1. Roast the coconut in a non-stick kadai on medium heat for six minutes or till reddish brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

3. Take the kadai off the heat, add the coconut and stir well. Add the cardamom powder and stir well. Add the raisins, reserving a few for decoration, and stir.
4. In another non-stick pan, cook the sugar with three-fourth cup of water, stirring till the sugar dissolves. Add the milk, collect the scum which rises to the surface with a ladle, and discard. Cook to make a syrup of one-string consistency.
