  3. Stir the starch well and then sift the starch through a sieve into a bowl.
  4. Cook the sugar water mixture on high heat until it boils. This will take for about 3 to 4 minutes.

  7. Use low heat.
  8. Add the cardamom powder. Keep stirring.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare a large tray, spread the plastic cling wrap over the tray and sprinkle over the coconut powder on it.
  10. When the starch mixture becomes quite elastic, this is the stage to add the butter.
  11. Stir the mix butter and starch completely so that there is no oily residue around the pot.
  12. Turn the heat off, let it cool down, and then add in the vanilla. Stir.
  13. There 2 ways to form the mixture. First to make it a bite-sized, take some mixture, form it into a ball, cover it with the coconut powder and put a walnut on top. Place it in a dish and put it in the refrigerator to cool. Second, to make it as a roll.

  18. Make sure the coconut powder doesn’t get into the mixture, but stays on the outside layer.
  19. Take the end of the plastic cling wrap, with the thumbs and index fingers on the walnuts, flip it over slowly.
  20. In each step of rolling, press it well with hands so that the starch forms a tight roll.
  21. Don’t let it cool because if it cools too much, then it won’t stick together.
  22. Remove the roll without the plastic wrap and put it on a plate, and keep it refrigerated for about 7-8 hours.
  23. When the time over, take out the roll sprinkle some pistachio powder and some walnuts on the side to decorate it.
