Reminiscing my childhood days and my grandmother' evening tea accompaniments brought back memories of this sweet patty we call 'chandrapuli'. To my rescue, I did save some grated coconut and couldn't think of a better way to use it.

Steps

1

Knead the dough with one tbsp oil and then gradually add water and add little bit of salt. Once done keep it aside and cover it with a samp cloth
2

Heat a pan and add the semolina and roast it for 2 mins on low flame and add the green cardamom powder. Once done, add the sugar and stir it well and let it cool.
3

Now make small balls of the dough and roll it with a rolling pin like a puri. Then add the mixture in centre and dip your finger in water and apply it around the outer edges of the puri as shown in the image. This will help in sealing the puri when we give the desired shape Seal it the way it's shown in the image
4

Now fold the sealed edge to give it a nice finish. Then heat generous amount of oil in a deep pan and put the patty in the oil and fry on low flame till nicely done.

Take it out in an oil absorbent paper to soak the excess oil. And serve with tea as an accompaniment or as a snack!
