(Pics are with different colours of jaggery. Recipe is same)
Coconut - medium sized - 1 Jaggery( ratio is mentioned in preparation)
Water - 3 cups
Cardamom - 3
Saffron - a pinch
Kesari powder - a pinch(optional)
Raw camphor - a pinch(optional)
Cashews - 6
Dry grapes - 6
Ghee 1 tsp.
METHOD:
Scrap the coconut and soak in 1 1/2 cups of hot water for 10 minutes. Grind it in a mixie. Squeeze firmly using your hand and strain it in a clean muslin cloth OR a strainer with two fine layers. This is the first extract of coconut milk. Keep aside.
Again, grind it with a cup of water and take out the 2nd extract. Keep aside separately.
Coconut milk : Jaggery Ratio = 3 : 1.
Crush and powder jaggery. In half a cup of water, dissolve jaggery and strain it without any mud. Heat it and allow it to boil till the raw smell diffuses.
When slightly thick, add the 2nd extract, mix well. Now add the 1st extract, mix well and heat till frothy.
Switch off the stove. Add kesari powder, raw camphor, saffron and crushed cardamom. Mix well.
Garnish with cashews and dry grapes fried in ghee.
Note: The coconut milk will curdle if boiled. So, just heat it till frothy. At the same time, if not heated properly, it will have a raw smell. So be careful while heating it. Add the cashews and kismis just before serving.
