Ingredients

​

1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (break open a fresh
coconut, pry out the kernel, and shred in a food processor)
2 teaspoons ghee

​

Method :

​

Mix the milk, sugar, and coconut in a saucepan and place on high heat. Keep stirring often, and as the mixture begins to show signs of solidifying, lower the heat.

Keep stirring. As the ingredients come together as a viscous mixture, add the ghee, stir for a minute, and transfer the mixture to a shallow baking pan. When it is slightly cooler (and before the mixture sets), cut into squares. It should set in about an hour. Use a sharp knife to pry out and separate into square pieces.

Makes 10 to 12.
