Kuch meetha ho jaye :)




Quick & Easy! Made very often at our place.

Ingredients:

• Milk - 1 ltr
• Grated Coconut - 2 cups
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Ghee - 1 tbsp
• Powdered Cardamom - 1/2 tsp
• Dry fruits - Optional

Method:
Take a pan & heat milk on medium flame. When it starts boiling add the grated coconut & lower the flame. Let it cook for sometime. You will see that boiling makes the milk thicker with layers of cream forming on top. Stir it once in a while to avoid settling of coconut at the bottom of the pan & getting burnt. Add sugar after 10 minutes.Keep stirring till the milk & coconut become thick & stick together. Now, add the powdered cardamom & the ghee.You can choose to add some chopped dry fruits to make it nutritious & rich.
When done pour it in a greased plate & you can cut them in the shape you desire. The most common shape is  of a diamond.

Note:

• The sugar can be put according to taste. 
• Many recipes will make you fry the grated coconut & add it to a sugar syrup & may be just  2-3 tbsps of milk only. But I stick to my mother's recipe given above.
