7 Cup Sweet

Ingredients
Milk - 1 cup
Gram flour (Besan) - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 cups
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup

Optional - Chopped Nuts(Cashew, Badam, Pista..) and Raisins

Method
In a big flat heavy bottomed wok, Put one cup of ghee, now add in the gram flour and grated coconut and cook till the raw smell goes. Note if dry coconut add later at the end.
Now add in the milk and stir until you see no lumps let it come to a boil and then add in the sugar and stir on a medium low flame. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes or until the mixture starts to get frothy. At this stage, you have to be hovering around the stove more often, stirring. Keep stirring frequently for another 15-20 minutes. Ensure that it does not catch the bottom and burn. After a while, the whole mixture starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan and starts moving with the spoon, like a dancing doll.
Grease a plate with ghee and pour the mixture onto it and allow it to cool. After, about 15 minutes cut into squares or diamonds. And wait for about an hour before you remove from the plate. You can see neat cakes as desired. Enjoy this easy preparation, make it for your family or impress your guests with it.

Tips :
If using Desicated coconut add at the end, not as above. Can add at the time of adding the nuts.
If dry coconut, can reduce the amount of Ghee by about 3-4 spoons off the cup. Also can reduce milk by few spoons.
