Thenga therattipal

Tirunelveli Thengai (Coconut) Therattipal is a popular South Indian sweet dish made from coconut and jaggery. It's known for its rich and creamy texture with the flavors of coconut and jaggery. Less ghee halfway style sweet is also famous in the Tanjavur region.

Fresh or frozen Coconut 

Always use fresh or frozen coconut for this recipe. Avoid shredded desiccated coconut. If you are using frozen coconut, thaw them first then use. Always press well and measure the coconut

Jaggery quantity 

If you prefer mild sweet use 1:2 jaggery proportional to the coconut. I added a little extra according to your family’s taste preference.

Tips to note for jaggery

•  Make sure jaggery is without impurities. If you are doubtful prepare jaggery water; Filter and use
• Always use powdered jaggery for easy grinding 

Can I skip rice flour 

No, rice flour gives the binding and good texture don't skip

Can I make vegan coconut halwa

Replacing ghee with vegan butter or oil might impact the traditional kalyana thenga therattipal taste 

Ghee quantity

Not much ghee is required for this sweet.  You can even skip 1 teaspoon ghee
