Narang Kavun
Published in Serendib, March - April, 2007
The making of narang kavum was demonstrated to bojoon.com and Serendib by chef pastry chef, Chef Nimal Rajapaksa @ Chaaya Citadel.

Narang Kavum is a variation of oil cakes, and is essentially freshly grated coconut mixed with treacle, balled, dipped in batter and fried until golden. This is a favorite among both children and adults and regularly appears on the Sri Lankan tea table unlike many other wonderful goodies that one sees only during these festive and other auspicious times and functions.

 
Ingredients
1. 250g Palm Sugar, grated
2. 200g Fresh coconut, grated
3. 05 Cardamom
4. 100g Flour
5. 100ml Fresh coconut milk
6. 01tsp Saffron powder
7. ½ tsp Salt
8. Oil for frying








Makes about 50 balls

Method

1. Caramelize the palm sugar. Add coconut and the cardamom
2. Mix well and stir over medium heat until the texture is dry. This is called ‘panipol’. Roll into 1” diameter balls
3. Mix the flour, coconut milk, salt and saffron powder to make the batter
4. 4. Dip the ‘panipol’ balls into the batter
5. Heat the oil and fry the balls few at a time until golden
These Naran Kavums are great with plain black tea.
