- 200 gm Sugar
- 200 gm Coconut tender pulp
- 2 cups Coconut Water

Instructions
Prepare the Chili Infusion
- Boil the Kashmiri chilies and cardamom pods in 2 cups of water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse the chilies thoroughly. Repeat this boiling, draining, and rinsing process four more times to remove any excess pungency.
Grind the Chilies

Prepare the Coconut Mixture
- Coarsely grind the tender coconut pulp with the sugar. Set aside.
Cook the Paalada
- Cook the paalada in 2 cups of tender coconut water until soft and tender. This may take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of paalada used.
Combine and Cook
- Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chili paste and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add the cooked paalada and the coconut-sugar mixture. Stir well to combine.
Finish and Chill
- Continue cooking until the butter separates from the mixture and the dessert thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with chopped tender coconut before serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili used or opt for a less spicy variety.
- Adjust the sugar to your preference. If using a sweeter paalada, you may need less sugar.
- To enhance the aroma, add a pinch of saffron strands along with the chilies while boiling.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade paalada if possible.
