Coconut 1 big

Or

Grated coconut 2 cups

Cardamom powder 1 tsp

Dry ginger powder - 1/2 tsp

Grate coconut & extract milk in 3 stages in liquidizer increasing the water added every time to get different thickness.

1st milk (very thick) should be 1/3 cup, 2nd milk –1 cup & the very thin 3rd milk 1 ¼ cup.

Boil rice in 1 cup of water till it cooks soft & becomes slightly dry.

After almost all the water has evaporated add 2 tsp ghee & fry well.

Add sugar & jaggery & fry again.

Now add 3rd milk & boil on a medium flame for 10 mts.

Then add 2nd milk & boil for 5mts.
