| 1. First, put on your prettiest apron and flash your sweetest smile because you are all set to create a marvellous delight in your kitchen that you and your family are going to love! | 2. Now let's start off-- To prepare the dough, boil water in a large pot. | 3. Once it boils, lower flame and allow it to simmer. | 4. Take a bowl and mix semolina and sugar in it. | 5. Add it to the boiling water alongwith salt to taste. | 6. Stir it continuously (this is VERY IMPORTANT) as you add it and cook it until it becomes a thick mixture. | 7. Remove from flame. | 8. Allow it to cool. | 9. Knead the dough now to make it a little softer. | 10. Now start preparing the stuffing. | 11. To do so, take a large mixing bowl and in it mix together the freshly grated coconut, sugar and the cardamom powder. | 12. Heat this mixture on medium flame. | 13. Stir it continuously and cook until the mixture dries. | 14. Allow it to cool. | 15. Prepare balls out of the dough you had prepared earlier. | 16. Take a drop or two of ghee and apply it on your palms. | 17. Now carefully flatten each ball on your palm, or rather, in between your palms. | 18. Carefully, make a small non-pierced hole in the centre of each ball. | 19. Place a little stuffing on it and close the hole. | 20. Shape all balls likewise like flattened round cutlets. | 21. Heat ghee in a wok on high flame. | 22. Carefully, lower the semolina delights in the ghee and deep fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown on either side. | 23. Remove onto clean paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain out. | 24. Now comes the part I love best- Garnish each delight with half a cashewnut for the mouth and red half cherries for 2 eyes! | 25. Ain't that pretty, eh! | 26. Eat'em, burp and smile with delight! | 27. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
