🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content while self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

coconut

🥗Healthier: unsweetened shredded coconut

💰Cheaper: coconut milk

Unsweetened shredded coconut provides coconut flavor with less sugar.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat option while margarine is often less expensive.

Grate the 3 coconuts until fine.

In a pot, combine the grated coconut and 2 cups of sugar, allowing the sugar to melt.

Add 4 cans of Carnation milk to the mixture and stir.

In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and water to form a dough.

Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it proof.

Take some of the sugar mixture to use as filling for the gojha.

Flatten the dough and fill it with the sugar mixture, then fold it over.

Deep-fry the filled dough until golden brown.
