Honey offers natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

In a heavy bottom pot on very low heat, add 1 tbsp of pure ghee and let it melt.

Add 3 and 3/4 cup of fine desiccated coconut to the pot and mix well.

Allow the coconut to roast on very low heat until it absorbs all the ghee.

Add 1 and 1/2 cup of full fat milk to the coconut and continue cooking on low heat until the coconut absorbs the milk, about 2-3 minutes.

Add 1 and 1/4 cup of sugar to the mixture and turn the heat to medium low, stirring continuously.

After 3-4 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken again; reduce the heat to low.

Add 1 cup of milk powder to the mixture and stir until it thickens and leaves the sides of the pan, about 5-6 minutes.

Remove the mixture from heat and transfer it to a plate to cool completely.

Once cooled, add 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut to a bowl.

Scoop out a small portion of the mixture using a teaspoon and roll it into a ball between your palms.

Toss the ball into the bowl with desiccated coconut to coat it on all sides.

Continue making balls until all the mixture is used up.
