Kopra paak is an indian sweet dish (desert). It is a delicious sweet, actually as a kid it used to be my favorite desert! My mom used to make it for me quite frequently! I wanted to make a sweet dish to send to my dear brothers! So I tried making kopra paak. It turned out great and it was very simple.

10-15 minutes serving size 4

Here is the recipe:

1 cup (dry coconut)

1/2 cup (ricotta cheese) I used part-skim!

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Milk-mava powder or carnation milk powder

2 spoons of ghee

few strands of saffron for color (if you heat for a few seconds in the microwave and then crush its better not necessary)

almond/pistaccios/cashews for garnishing

Now the cooking process is too simple

Take a microwave safe bowl with a lid mix all the ingredients (only 1 tea spoon ghee) (also not the garnishing ingredients ) and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Stir add one more teaspoon of ghee/butter and microwave for 2-3 minutes. If small circles can be formed from the mixture. It is done (make sure you don't overcook it). Repeat heating as necessary.

 

Now take a pan or anything grease the bottom with ghee or oil and spread the mixture flat you can use a bowl greased at the bottom to press it and make it even. Sprinkle almonds, pistacios, cardomom as desired. Press on it again to make sure it sticks. Leave aside for a little while and you can cut with a pizza cutter or knife to make small squares.

 

And your sweet dish is ready!
