    Mix all purpose flour and ghee in a bowl and knead thoroughly to prepare a dough. Cover it with a clean and wet cloth. This is done to prevent it from drying.

    Now, in another bowl, mix together the grated coconut, khoya and sugar powder. Fold in the cashewnut powder and cardamom powder.

    Make small puris now from the all purpose flour dough. Stuff the puris with the mixture you have prepared. Give it the shape of puris.
