Sesame Coconut Naru

Ingredients

  • Grated coconut (200 g)
  • Sesame seeds (100 g)
  • Jaggery (2 cups)
  • Coconut milk (100 ml)
  • Milk (100 ml)
  • Cardamom (2)
  • Bay leaf (2)
  • Cinnamon (2 sticks)
  • Puffed rice flour (2 tablespoons)

Method

  1. First, toast the sesame seeds in a pan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  2. This recipe needs a generous amount of jaggery. Use 1 cup of jaggery for every 100 g of grated coconut.
  3. Combine the coconut milk and milk in a pot with the cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf, and jaggery. When the jaggery melts, add the grated coconut. Keep stirring until the milk evaporates and the mixture is no longer sticky. When the mixture is nearly dry, add the toasted sesame seeds. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Finally, shape the mixture into round naru and roll them in puffed rice flour so they do not stick together. Serve.
