Cham Cham Coconut

🇮🇳 Indian

Spongy cham cham rolls in coconut, the Bengal sweet in four colours. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Best after resting an hour; the flavours settle.

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp
  • Khoa (Mawa)200 g

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep first: nuts chopped, pans greased, trays ready — this recipe rewards organization.

  2. 2

    Combine the khoa (mawa) with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Season the mix with the grated coconut and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.

  5. 5

    Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
