Ingredients

  • 200 gm sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp rosewater
  • 200 gm semolina
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 2 tbsp chopped cashew nuts
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar and water and bring it to boil.
  • Keep boiling it till it looks syrupy. There is no need to look at the consistency. Add the rosewater and switch.
  • Side by side, keep the semolina for roasting in a hot pan. Keep sauteing it, till a nice aroma comes but it must not change its color.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and give a nice stir. Switch off.
  • Add the roasted ingredients into the hot sugar syrup and mix well.
  • Almost immediately start rolling into evenly sized balls. I scooped out using an ice cream sccoop into a plate and then slowly rolled them. Yes, they will surely burn your hand, but worth the effort!
  • Allow to cool so that it hardens and then serve with tea!
