Gradually add the colored water to the flour mixture to form a dough.

Knead the dough for about five minutes until soft and stretchy.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Cut the dough into equal pieces and roll each into a ball.

Roll out each dough ball into a thin circle.

Prepare the coconut filling by boiling grated coconut with a cup of water, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Place a heaping spoonful of coconut filling in the center of the rolled-out dough.

Press down the sides of the dough and seal with a fork.

Brush the tops of the turnovers with liquid from the coconut filling (optional).

Bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 20 minutes.
