Instructions
Place coconut in a wok and heat until it begins to change colour.
Add brown sugar and stir continuously for approx 25–30 minutes or until the mixture thickens and is blended. If too runny add more coconut.
Take off heat and cool to a temperature that can be handled.
Spoon out enough to make small balls. Rub a little ghee onto the palms of your hands before rolling into balls.
