Cut the dried coconut into small pieces and set aside.
Chop the almonds and cashew nuts into small pieces.
Heat ghee in a pan and fry the gond until it puffs up. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, roast the makhana until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Roast the chopped almonds and cashew nuts in the pan until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In a separate pan, add sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely and forms a syrup of one-string consistency.
Add the milk powder and cardamom powder to the sugar syrup and mix well.
Add the roasted gond, makhana, almonds, cashew nuts, raisins, and dried coconut pieces to the syrup. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Grease a tray or plate with ghee and pour the mixture onto it. Spread evenly and let it cool.
Once cooled, cut into desired shapes and serve.
Ensure the sugar syrup reaches one-string consistency for the perfect texture.
Roast the nuts and makhana well to enhance their flavor.
Use fresh and good-quality dry coconut for the best taste.
Can I use fresh coconut instead of dry coconut?
Dry coconut is recommended for this recipe as it provides a distinct texture and flavor. Fresh coconut may alter the consistency of the paag.
What is gond, and where can I find it?
Gond is edible gum commonly used in Indian sweets. You can find it at Indian grocery stores or online.
Can I skip milk powder?
Milk powder adds richness to the paag, but you can skip it or replace it with condensed milk for a similar effect.
How do I store Coconut Paag?
Store the paag in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it.
Can I add other nuts or seeds?
Yes, you can customize the recipe by adding other nuts or seeds like pistachios or sunflower seeds.
