Semolina/bombay ravva/karachi nooka/rave : 1 cup

Freshly grated coconut/kobbari/thenginakayi : 1 cup

Method of Preparation :

1.  Heat a kadai/pan and add 1 tsp of ghee and add 1 cup of  Gram flour and fry for 2 minutes, remove it into a bowl and cool it.


2. Then in the same kadai fry semolina and grated coconut separately and keep aside and cool them.


3. Mix all the three ingredients(gram flour+semolina+ grated Coconut) together in a bowl. this is called as Besan mixture.


4. Then take a thick bottomed vessel and add 3 cups sugar and 1 cup water and allow the sugar to dissolve in water with occasional stirring and let it come to boil. Allow the sugar syrup to cook till it reaches single string consistency ( to check for single string consistency ,you need to  place/touch  the sugar syrup between your thumb and index finger and stretch your fingers it should form a single string between your fingers.)


5. Once the syrup gets single string consistency add Besan mixture slowly with continuous stirring in order to avoid lumps.


6.  Then add remaining ghee ( ghee should in melted form) and continue stirring until the mixture becomes thick and leaves the side walls of the vessel.


7. Immediately pour the mixture into a plate greased with ghee , spread evenly and sprinkle grated dry fruits over it  and allow it to cool.


8. When it becomes slightly harder make deep lines out of the mixture in the shape you want with a knife. Once it becomes completely hard, remove the pieces using knife.


9. Once they are ready you can store them in a air tight container. They remain fresh for 10 days.
