Mix desiccated coconut and flour until the flour forms into tiny balls like beads.

If this mixture is dry, sprinkle some water so that it helps to form balls.

Then transfer this into a steamer.

Now steam this around 35 – 45 mins.

While the pittu is still warm we need to again separate flour beads and keep this aside.

The next step is to make the sugar syrup. Put small amount of sugar to a pan and heat until it becomes dark brown.

When sugar is bubbling add hot water.

Then add remaining sugar and 01 cup of more hot water.

When sugar dissolves completely add salt and coconut milk.

Heat coconut milk well under medium heat. Meanwhile we can add ground cardamom to this.

When sugar syrup is ready add flour beads.

Mix this thoroughly until flour absorbs all sugar syrup.

When the mixture becomes sticky switch off the flame and add two tablespoons of astra spread.

Transfer this mixture into a tray and make it flatten.

Then let this cool down a bit and cut into pieces.
