Ingredients: 250g dessicated coconut 125g sugar litre milk 2 tbsp condensed milk 2 tbsp ghee or margarine tsp powdered cardamom

Methods: In a heavy-based pan dry roast the coconut over a low heat until it turns light brown. Add sugar and stir constantly so that mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
