Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Guyanese Mithai in honor of Eid.

Show the ingredients: all-purpose flour, coconut milk, custard powder, milk powder, baking powder, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, aniseed, ground ginger, nutmeg, condensed milk, vanilla, coconut, and butter.

In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, milk powder, custard powder, and ground nutmeg.

Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Grate the stick of butter into the flour mixture and mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add freshly grated coconut to the mixture.

Incorporate condensed milk and vanilla into the mixture, mixing well.

Gradually add coconut milk, mixing until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add evaporated milk until a semi-soft dough forms.

Divide the dough into four balls and smooth them out.

Roll each ball out to about three-quarters of an inch thick, ensuring it's not too thin.

Cut the rolled dough into large diamond and triangle shapes.

Heat oil in a frying pan until it's not vigorously sizzling, to avoid burning the dough.

Fry the shaped dough pieces for about three to four minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up.
