Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a saucepan, combine 3/4 cup grated jaggery and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until jaggery dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Strain to remove impurities and keep the syrup warm.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup grated fresh coconut, 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, and 1 tbsp ghee. Gradually add the warm jaggery syrup while stirring to form a smooth batter.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp cashew feni and 1/4 cup chopped cashew nuts into the batter.
  4. Step 4: Grease small pudding molds or ramekins with ghee, pour the batter evenly into four molds.
  5. Step 5: Set up a steamer with boiling water and steam the puddings covered for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Remove from steamer, let cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature as a sweet finish to your meal.
