COCONUT PEDA

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 Cup Grated Coconut fresh/frozen
1 Tin Condensed milk
2 Tbsp Milk
Saffron few strands
Dry fruit of your choice for decoration.

METHOD:

Dry grind the grated coconut until it reaches to a powdery consistency.
Soak saffron in about 2 tbsp of milk for about 10 mins.

In a heavy bottomed kadai heat the condensed milk along with the milk and saffron and brig it to boil.

When you see the bubbles add in the powdered coconut and keep stirring it for another few mins until you see the mixture thickening and forming a single mass.

Now cool it for 2 mins and slowly and carefully form circular laddus and slowly press it using your palms to flatten it thus making pedas. Note: the sweet still needs to be hot when you shape it. Be quick when you do it. You need to do it before the sweet cools completely.

Slowly press in a dry fruit in the center as shown in the picture. I used chopped dates here.

Enjoy!!!
