Serves: 12 items
Ingredients:
10
Delightful and aromatic sweet balls made with semolina, coconut, and a blend of spices.
Ingredients
| 250 | grams semolina |
|---|---|
| 1 | cup grated coconut |
| 2 | tablespoons ghee |
| 250 | grams sugar |
| ¾ | cup water |
| 1 | teaspoon powdered cardamom and nutmeg mix |
| a few strands of saffron | |
| 30 | milliliters milk (or water) |
| ¼ | cup raisins |
| 1 | chopped almonds |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by creating a sugar syrup with the sugar and water, cooking until it reaches thread consistency. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Meanwhile, gently heat the ghee and toast the semolina for approximately 10 minutes, stirring continuously until it transforms to a light pink hue. |
| 3. | Incorporate the grated coconut into the semolina, and continue toasting over low heat. Ensure thorough mixing to achieve a texture resembling coarse dry sand. |
| 4. | Once the sugar syrup has reached the desired consistency, introduce the saffron and powdered cardamom and nutmeg mix. Combine well before adding the semolina-coconut blend. Stir until the mixture takes on the appearance of wet sand. If the texture is too dry, gradually incorporate milk or water until a damp consistency is achieved. |
| 5. | Allow the mixture to cool until it can be handled comfortably. Then, add the chopped nuts and raisins, ensuring even distribution. |
| 6. | Shape the mixture into 12-14 balls, and let them cool and set. |
