1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp or cardamom powder
3 tbsp Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder whisked with 1-2 tsp water
2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
Directions
1. Grease a pan or plate with little ghee and set aside.
2. In a large pan preferably non-stick, add the grated coconut, condensed milk, and sugar. Keep it on low to medium flame and stir well. Keep stirring the mixture till it dries up for about 7- 10 mins. Now add the ghee, Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder mixture, and vanilla extract and cook for about five mins till the mixture forms together like a dough. You can test whether the mixture is ready by taking a small amount and forming a ball. If you can form a ball then you are ready to remove the mixture from the heat.
