MATRIMONY SWEET (SEMOLINA
AND COCONUT SWEET)
This sweet was
prepared in the olden days by the Bride’s Mother on the eve of her wedding and
all the members of the extended family would feed the bride bits of this sweet
and wish her a long and happy married life. The sweet signified all the good
things in life. This custom has since gone out of vogue and hardly anyone
remembers the recipe for this sweet nor
its significance. This is my own recipe for the Matrimony SweetIngredients
2 cups grated coconut
1 cup roasted fine Semolina
3 cups sugar
1 cup full cream milk
1cup condensed milk
2 teaspoons ghee
½ teaspoon almond essence
