Benefits in Indian sweets:

  • No refined sugar

  • No cooling sensation

  • No artificial sweeteners

  • Works beautifully with ghee & coconut

Equipment Required

  • Heavy-bottom kadai or non-stick pan

  • Silicone spatula

  • Flat tray lined with parchment / greased plate

  • Knife for cutting

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Roast the Coconut

Heat a heavy-bottom pan on low flame.
Add grated coconut and dry roast for 3–4 minutes, stirring continuously.
This removes excess moisture without browning the coconut.

Step 2: Add Ghee

Add desi ghee to the pan and mix well.
Cook on low flame for 4–5 minutes until the mixture becomes aromatic and glossy.

Step 3: Add True Sweet Blend™

Add True Sweet Blend™ gradually while stirring continuously.
Cook for 5–7 minutes on low heat until:

  • The mixture thickens

  • Coconut starts releasing ghee

  • The mass comes together

🔑 Unlike sugar, True Sweet Blend™ does not caramelise — gentle heat is key.

Step 4: Add Milk Powder & Cardamom

Lower the flame.
Add milk powder and cardamom powder.
Mix quickly to avoid lumps and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

Step 5: Set the Khopara Pak

Transfer the hot mixture to a greased tray.
Spread evenly and press gently.

Garnish with almonds if desired.

Let it set at room temperature for 45–60 minutes.

Step 6: Cut & Serve

Once set, cut into square or diamond shapes.
Store in an airtight container.
