Coco Gram marbles

Instructions

• 1)

  Sieve the gram flour into a pan to remove any lumps. This will make the flour thin and fine, essential for making nice soft gram balls.

• 2)

  Add the water to the pan, and whisk thoroughly until the gram flour is dissolved and there are no lumps. Add the rice syrup, essential oil, and salt.

• 3)

  Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.

• 4)

  Then remove it from heat and allow it to cool and get even thicker.

• 5)

  Once completely cool, divide the dough into even quantities and roll it into balls between your palms. You can make 15 to 20 balls depending on the size you prefer. The best is double marble size.

• 6)

  Spread the fine desiccated coconut or coconut flakes onto a tray.

• 7)

  Roll the gram balls in the coconut until completely covered with grated coconut. Stick a little clove bud over each ball and garnish with physalis, seasonal berries, or a natural jam. It’s an easy healthy snack for kids and adults.
