Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish with ghee.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
  3. Step 3: In a separate saucepan over low heat, warm 2 cups coconut milk and 3/4 cup grated jaggery, stirring until jaggery dissolves completely; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the warm coconut-jaggery mixture to the flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 beaten large eggs, 1 tsp cardamom powder, 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, and 1/2 cup melted ghee; mix until smooth and well combined.
  6. Step 6: Pour a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until the top is lightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven, pour another thin layer of batter over the baked layer, and bake for another 10-12 minutes; repeat layering and baking process until all batter is used, about 7-8 layers.
  8. Step 8: After final layer is baked, let the bebinca cool completely to set before slicing and serving.
