Mix the batter to a thick consistency.

Meanwhile, chop the coconut into smaller pieces and roughly run the coconut and dates in the mixie to get a well formed stuffing. The stickyness from dates will get the coconut to bind well. Shape them into desired balls.

Heat the pan or kadai with oil. Once its hot, roll or dip the stuffing into the maida batter and gently drop into the oil. The batter has to be thick, so mix little quantity as you go. The balls have to be well coated.

Turn on both sides and cook well. Drain on a kitchen towel.

The sweetness from the dates is enough to make this sweet. There is no need to add extra sugar.
