Coconut dessert
This is a fantastic dessert. It takes only about 15 minutes from start to finish. The coconut soaks in the milk making the sweet so moist and juicy. You have got to give it a go - its a nice treat! For this sweet, you will need.. 2 cups grated coconut 1 cup sugar 2 ounces unsalted butter 1/2 cup milk 3/4 cup water 1 small handful of almond chips and chopped cahewnuts 1 teaspoon powdered cardamom Place the sugar and water in a pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Next add coconut, butter, milk and stir around, and cook on a low flame. Once the whole lot thickens, sprinkle the cardamom and some of the nuts. Mix together well and after about 3 minutes, pour into a buttered dish. Scatter the remaining nuts on the top. To serve, spoon out the sweet at the table and top it off with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. I like to cool the sweet in the fridge first, but you can have it warm too. Recipe from Somakochamma
