Dough making :

Start by making the dough. Take flour, sugar, salt, yeast in a mixing bowl. Pour warm milk over it and knead it into a slightly sticky dough. Now drizzle some butter over it and mix well. Cover and let it sit in a warm place of 1 to 2 hours till it doubles in size.

For the filling :

Slightly roast the grated coconut in a empty pan to remove the moisture. 

Take coconut and sugar in a blender and blend them till it resembles a coarse mixture. In a bowl, add coconut mix, tutti fruity,cardamom powder. Mix that well, filling is done.

Line a baking tray with foil and grease it well with butter.

Once the dough has rised punch it back down and knead well for a min. Divide the dough into two equal portions.

Take one dough out and roll it into a heart shape. 

Place the dough on the baking tray, spread the filling all over the dough. Now wet the corners of the doughy using milk.

Now roll another dough into a heart shall. Place that over the moistened edges and press with your fingers to seal them well. 

Leave it to rest for 10 mins.

In the meantime preheat the oven to 200 degree C.

Now Use a  knife to make some slashes over the top so the steam can escape.

Brush the top with some milk and bake it in oven for 25 to 35 mins. Dont overbake.

Once it is done, remove from oven and brush the top with some melted butter. Cover the top with a damp cloth so the crust will become soft.

Once it is cooled, slice and serve.
