  • Stir continuously to avoid sticking khowa in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add Sugar to melted Khowa and keep stiring to melt Sugar as well. This will take around 5 minutes in low flame.
  • Add grated coconut in this stage along with Green Cardamom powder and ix properly.
  • Add powdered Camphor to the mixture and keep stirring till the mixture thickens and leaves the edges of the pan after around 7 minutes. Flame should be lower while cooking.
  • Now take the mixture in a plate and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Take little Ghee and apply on the Moulds and take around 2 Tbsp. mixture and by pressing with the fingers on the mould make Chandrapuli and give it a shape of half-moon.
  • In case not available with a mould shape Chandrapuli using your hand.
