½ cup Semolina
For the Filling:
1 ltr milk
½ cup grated Coconut

Instructions

Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan and condense it to make khoya by continuously stiring the milk with a big spoon.
Add 1/2 cup sugar into the milk. The sweetness can be adjusted according to your taste. Add cardamoms for a nice smell in the khoya.
In a wok mix grated coconut with jaggery and place it over low flame. Add cardamom in it. Keep stirring the mixture till it gets sticky.
Add the khoya and keep on stirring till the mixture turns a light brown and is sticky. At this point the mix should not disintegrate but should look like a light brown slightly sticky granular substance.
Take maida, sooji and rice flour in a bowl. Add milk a little at a time to make a smooth and runny batter. Make sure that there are no lumps.
Heat the non stick pan. Put a little ghee. Pour a thin layer of the mixture on it and spread it quickly with the ladle.
Put the filling lengthwise at one end of it and roll it. Wait till the colour is light brown.
Place it on the plate. Serve hot or cold.
