This recipe is adapted from Madras Samayal on YouTube.
I have modified some ingredients in the stuffing.

Coconut Bun is one of the favorite snack, which we used to get in the bakery in our childhood days. It’s a sweet, which has plenty of coconut and other fillings like dried fruits and nuts. I tried with coconut, cashew nuts and raisins (kismis). My husband likes coconut bun a lot and I tried making it, and the result was too good. He liked a lot. And surprisingly, my little one loved it and he said it tastes very good and flavorful.
