      thanks maria posting all these recipes.it is very helpful for people like me( new cooks).i wanted to ask u about the coconut mix.when i made it it became very hard not soft.any tips?? thanks again.
      (.i am from cochin too.currently in u.s.)

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Elsa

        You are welcome dear. I’m so glad that you find these recipes helpful :)

        About the coconut mix, it tends to become hard if you cook it for a long time. You can remove it from fire when the sugar starts melting. Hope this helps…

        Cheers
        Maria

      Hey Maria,

      Will definitely try this. My mom used to make this all the time coz we used to love it. Guess, what we call it at home, MADAKSAN!! Hahaha…God knows what that even means!

      Love,
      Donna

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        Hi Donna,

        Its a fav tea time snack at my place too. I’ve heard some people calling this madakkusan, but as you said I’m also clueless why its called like that :)

        Cheers
        Maria

        Hi Resmi,

        Good to know that this recipe brought you memories of good old days :) I’ve also heard the name love letters for this snack. May be because this snack has a sweet filling, just like the love letters with sweet words ;)

        Cheers
