Ingredients

20 Chapati

For the stuffing
1 cup grated fresh coconut
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg (jaiphal) powder
2 tsp ghee

Other ingredients
ghee for cooking and to serve

Method

For the stuffing

Melt the ghee and add the coconut. Cook on a slow flame, stirring continuously until it is lightly coloured and totally dry. This should takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool.
When cool, add the sugar, cardamom powder and nutmeg powder and mix well. Add extra sugar and nutmeg if required.

How to proceed

Brush the both sides of a chapati with ghee and place on a hot tava (griddle).
Put 2 tbsp of the stuffing on one half of the chapati.
Fold the roti into half so you get a semi-circular roti with stuffing in the centre.
Cook on both sides using ghee till brown spots appear on the surface.
Repeat with the remaining chapatis and stuffing to make 19 more rotis.
Serve hot.
