I learnt this recipe from my grandmother on a recent visit to the city. If you grew up in Tamil Nadu kamarkat would have part of your carefree childhood days.
What you need
Coconut - 2
Jaggery - 250 gm
Ghee - 3 tsp
Cooking instructions
Grate the coconuts and keep aside. Place a kadai on the stove and add 200 ml of water. Now add jaggery to it and allow it to melt. Stir continuously till it acquires a thick string consistency stage. Now add the grated coconut and keep mixing until the mixture turns solid. After a few minutes apply a little of ghee on your palms and make small balls from the mixture. The traditional kamarkat is ready to eat.
