Coconut oil adds flavor and is dairy-free.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Almond flour adds a nutty flavor and is gluten-free.

Grate the coconut using a kitchen grater.

Measure and sift 6 cups of flour.

Add 1 tbsp of baking powder and grated nutmeg to the flour.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of butter to the flour mixture and rub until sandy texture.

Add 3 cups of grated coconut and 1 tbsp of grated ginger to the mixture.

Add a pinch of salt and mix properly.

Make a well in the center and add 1 cup of water, mixing until a dough forms.

If the dough is too dry, add an additional 1/4 cup of water as needed.

Add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and mix well.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut into diamond shapes using a knife.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat.

Fry the cookies in the hot oil until golden brown, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
