• Grated unsweetened coconut - 50 grams
• Erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener) - 30 grams
• Ghee - 2 tablespoons
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - 50 ml

Steps

1. In a non-stick pan, heat the ghee on low flame and add the grated coconut, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

3. Gradually pour in the water while continuously stirring the mixture until it starts to form a dough-like consistency.
