Step 1

If using fresh coconut, grate it finely. If using desiccated coconut, ensure it is fresh and soft. If it feels dry, you can hydrate it slightly by sprinkling a little milk over it.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee. Add the grated coconut and sauté for about 2-3 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
