Elaneer ie. tender coconut is quite healthy and during summer, it is a great relief if you consume this.  It has high amount of  potassium.  Certain  points  why we should consume a tender coconut  is given below for your ready reference.  I have already posted tender coconut kulfi, falooda, payasam,  kheer another method, coconut cooler etc.

My daughter is very fond of orange candy and during summer,  they eat lots of ice creams, drink coconut water.  Since she likes the  candy, I thought of trying the same with tender coconut and was liked by all at home.

The ingredients are easily accessible and  not too expensive.  You can make mango  and chikoo candies too like this with milk.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

2 tender coconuts
3 sprigs of pudina
1 tsp basil seeds, subja
tender coconut cut into small pieces.
2-3 tsp sugar (depending upon the sweetness of coconut water, adjust)
Kulfi moulds

Method:

1.  Remove the coconut water from the tender coconut.
2.  Put the subja in little water, it will swell.
3.  Grind the pudina leaves with little water or with coconut water and mix in the coconut water.  You can also put the tender malai in it while grinding.  
4.  Put the subja in it
5.  put the chopped tender coconut pieces also. 
6.  Add the sugar and dissolve it.
7.  Pour the above in the kulfi moulds and keep for setting overnight.
8.  Morning remove it from the moulds and serve chilled.

Note:  You can add little lime juice also if you want and drink as it is.
