Chandrapuli
Chandrapuli is a traditional Bengali sweet prepared with grated coconut and solidified milk i.e. Khowa with a pinch of Camphor or Karpur! In fact camphor makes this sweet special with a unique aroma in it. I never ever thought of preparing Chandrapuli at home but found a very cute half-moon shaped mould which is not typical Chandrapuli mould (D shaped) but a proper half-moon and I have decided to use it to make Chandrapuli. Since I have round moulds available with me, I made some Narkel Chapa as well! Here goes the blog link for further details of Chandrapuli (http://kitchenofdebjani.com/2015/10/chandrapuli/)
