Cocunut Pozhli


My friend's first wedding anniversary just passed by and i made this sweet for her.This is her favorite.My mom in law and me made nice pozhli's and she liked it.Here you go..

Ingredients:
Maida--------------1 1/2 cup
Coconut------------1 cup
Jaggery------------3/4 cup
Ghee

Procedure:
Mix the maida with a pinch of salt,pinch of turmeric powder and mix it well and make the dough ,as you make the dough for chappathi.
Pour little ginger oil and leave it for atleast an hour.
Then make the paagu by adding water to jaggery and heating it.
When the jaggery is mixed with water and looks like a thin line add the coconut and stir it.
Add little cardamom powder.
The mix should be stirred till it becomes little solid,we should be able to make round balls.
Make small balls with the maida and just press it flat with hands,then keep the poornam(jaggery,coconut mix) and again it press it flat.
Just use little ghee while pressing so that it does not stick.
Then toast it in the tava with ghee.

This is a very yummy sweet that does not make us so tired.
