If you don't have much time before your friends come over to visit and you frantically think what you can treat them with, consider these Indian Coconut Balls. They are as simple as they are delicious. Only three ingredients, but so much flavor thanks to my favorite spice of all times- cardamom. I'm sure your kids would love making these too. Just don't let them eat more than one. These little guys are pretty sweet!
Yield: 4 servings
- 1 cup shredded coconut (I buy it at the bulk section of my grocery store. It's much cheaper than the packed varieties)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
Toast shredded coconut on medium heat in a small saucepan for 3 minutes. Constantly stir taking care not to burn the coconut. Reduce the heat to low and stir in sweetened condensed milk and cardamom. Simmer 3-4 minutes constantly stirring or until the mixture heats through.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool until the mixture is warm. Don't let it cool completely. With wet hands form small balls and place them on a plate. You can make them as big or as small as you want. The batter will be sticky and a bit hard to handle. Keeping your hands wet will allow you to form the balls with no problem. Sprinkle the balls with a dash of cardamom. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
