1
In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the freshly grated coconut and powdered jaggery over low heat.
2
Stir continuously with a wooden spatula until the jaggery melts and blends seamlessly with the coconut.
3
Add the crushed green cardamom pods and ghee, continuing to cook until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then grease your palms with a little ghee and shape it into small, round latus.
5
In a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil with crushed ginger and black tea leaves to brew a strong infusion.
6
Strain the hot tea into cups, add milk if desired, and serve immediately alongside the warm coconut larus.
