Ingredients

10 chapatis

For The Stuffing
1 cup grated fresh coconut
3/4 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 8 to 10 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 9 more rotis.
Serve hot.
