Description
Best enjoyed for Diwali, the traditional Hindu Festival of Lights, this delicious Indian coconut treat is easy to make and will impress on any occasion.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Coarsely chop ¼ cup pistachios. Add chopped pistachios to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Step 2 of 4
Add condensed milk and coconut (option to add saffron here if making yellow) to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, or until mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.
Step 3 of 4
Remove from heat and stir in food colouring. Set aside to cool down slightly for 10 minutes.
Step 4 of 4
Using a tablespoon as a measure, divide mixture into 16 pieces. Rub hands with ghee and flatten dough into small patties. Add ½ tsp ground pistachios to the centre, then carefully enclose and roll into a ball. Place 1 pistachio on top of each ball, then toss ball through remaining coconut. Repeat with remaining dough and pistachio mixtures. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
