Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Chikki Treats.
Step 1
Start by melting a tablespoon of ghee in a pan over low heat.
Step 2
Once the ghee is warm, add in the grated dried coconut.
Step 3
Keep an eye on it as you roast the coconut, stirring occasionally until it turns a lovely golden brownâthis should take about two minutes.
Step 4
When itâs just right, set it aside to cool.
Step 5
Next, grab a separate skillet and combine both brown and white sugar over medium heat.
Step 6
Pour in a splash of water and stir the mixture as it heats up.
Step 7
Youâll want to keep stirring for about three minutes until it reaches a gentle boil.
Step 8
Once itâs bubbling away, lower the heat and continue stirring until the mixture starts to thicken and solidify, which should take around two minutes.
Step 9
Now itâs time to bring the roasted coconut back into the mix! Add it to the sugar mixture and stir well, ensuring every bit of coconut is beautifully coated in that sweet goodness.
Step 10
Next, transfer this delightful mixture to a greased sheet pan or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 11
While itâs still warm, cut it into squares or rectanglesâthis is the fun part! Allow your creation to cool completely before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy the deliciousness youâve crafted, and share it with friends and family for a delightful treat!.
