The next step is to heat 1 tbsp ghee and fry the coconut chips till it gets golden brown. Take it out and keep aside.

In the same vessel combine the arrowroot powder with water and keep stirring continuously on medium flame till it cooks. Make sure not to form lumps. Lumps will spoil the texture and taste of this dessert.

Finally add in the cardamom powder and fried coconut chips. Mix it well. Your arrowroot dessert is ready. You can serve hot or cold, as you desire.
