Method:

Grate the coconut. Place it in a deep pan (kadia or wok) alogn with the milkmaid on medium heat. Keep stirring continuously. The milkmaid will melt and the contiunous stirring will yield a consistent mixture. Add cardamom, saffron and raisins. Raise to high heat while continuing to stir. When the mixture forms a consistent blob and no longer sticks to the pan, then turn the heat off. Let it cool. Make round balls.

The dish is ready to ear.
