A very happy Makar Sankranti/Lohri/Pongal to all. Hope everyone is having a great time with family and harvest a lot of happiness for the coming days :)
Today is a quick fix or rather a last minute addition to the Sankranti delicacy platter. Or even if you have prepared nothing as of now, this can be very handy to serve the guests coming over. I always believe nothing can be more welcoming than serving a home made sweet, so this sweet recipe is one of a kind which doesn't need much attention unlike other traditional sweets. Just few minutes and you are done with your part.
During this time - we always have coconut in handy. This is very similar to coconut laddoo but doesn't need that much effort. If you don't have fresh coconut, take dried coconut powder which are easily available in market. So without further ado, will quickly jump into the recipe.
Process: Take very little ghee in a heavy bottom pan, add a bit of small cardamom/Elaichi powder. As ghee is infused with Elaichi flavor, add fine semolina(sooji) and roast for 3-4 mins. Add scraped or dried coconut, sugar & any dry fruits you have. Keep mixing and cook them for 2-3 mins more. Add condensed milk/milk powder and mix them again. The whole thing will come together and become a lump. Place them in a greased container & let it set. Cut into pieces and serve. This doesn't last that long but can be kept for 3-4 days in refrigerator. Also don't add too much of sugar initially as we have used condensed milk/milk powder. The quantity of semolina will be little more than half of scarped coconut used. This takes about 2-3 hrs to set.
Enjoy & happy cooking !
