A traditional South Indian sweet made with just two main ingredients: fresh coconut and jaggery. This simple, no-cook delicacy is a perfect accompaniment for dosas, rotis, or just as a quick, healthy sweet treat.
In a medium bowl, add the freshly grated coconut and powdered or grated jaggery.
Add the cardamom powder and a small pinch of salt. The salt helps to balance the sweetness.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix everything together well until the jaggery is evenly distributed with the coconut. The moisture from the coconut will help the jaggery meld into it.
Serve immediately as an accompaniment to dosas, idiyappam (string hoppers), or chapatis.
