A pinch of turmeric powder

 

Filling

1 tbsp Clarified butter

1 cup Grated coconut

1/2 cup Sugar

Then, add sugar and mix well. Add cashews and raisins, sauté for a few more seconds, and then add cardamom powder. Mix well and remove from flame.

Take the crepes and place the coconut filling on each one. Roll them up and seal both sides. Enjoy these delicious crepes with coconut filling as a delightful treat for any time of the day.
