Kopra pak
Makes 13-14 pieces
Ingredients
1 cup dessicated unsweetened coconut (you can also use fresh coconut)
3/4th cup sugar (i reduced the sugar by 1/4th cup, yet found the kopra pak to be very sweet and i do have a sweet tooth- if you prefer less sweet you could lessen it to your liking)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
3-4 sliced almonds
a few strands of saffron crushed with some sugar (the sugar helps crush the saffron- do it in a mortar and pestle)
1. Heat the water and sugar till it becomes thick and of a syrupy consistency.
2. Add in the cardomom, saffron, almonds and coconut and mix well. Cook it for another 5 minutes.
3. While its still pourable, transfer it to a plate greased with little ghee and pat it evenly.
4. While its still hot, cut into diamond shaped pieces but do not remove from plate. Allow to cool and set.
