Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Plain flour |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1 1/2 cups | Water |
| – | Ghee (clarified butter) |
| 1 1/4 cups | Grated coconut |
| 2 tbsp | Jaggery or soft brown sugar |
| 1 | Raisins |
| 1 | Cashews |
| 1 tsp | Green cardamom powder |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Sieve the flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
- Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add water, stirring continuously, until you achieve a thick pancake-like batter consistency.
- The batter should spread easily but not be too runny. Set aside for approximately 15 minutes to rest.
-
Prepare the Stuffing:
- In another bowl, combine grated coconut, jaggery (or soft brown sugar), raisins, cashews, and green cardamom powder.
- Mix everything well to ensure the flavors blend harmoniously. Divide the mixture into 8-10 portions.
-
Prepare the Parcels:
- Cut aluminum foil into rectangles, approximately 4X6 inches in size.
- Lightly grease each piece of foil with ghee to prevent sticking.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the prepared batter onto the center of each foil piece, leaving a generous margin around the edges.
- Place one portion of the coconut stuffing mixture onto the center of the batter.
-
Fold and Steam:
- Carefully fold the foil over the batter and stuffing to create a neat rectangular parcel.
- Seal the edges by folding them securely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and stuffing portions.
- Steam the parcels in a steamer for 15-20 minutes until they are firm to the touch.
-
Serve:
- Just before serving, open the foil parcels.
- Serve the steamed coconut dumplings hot or cold, accompanied by a drizzle of ghee for added richness.
