BEBINCA ...STEP BY STEP RECIPE BY CHEF SAMANTHA NUNES AT THE GOA MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA

'A traditional rich Goan dessert, Bebinca is a must have at any celebration . Making Bebinca requires tons of patience - a layer can only be added when the one below it is cooked - but it is so much easier if you have a KitchenAid stand mixer to work with for all the pre-prep' says Chef Samantha Nunes as she makes this delightful and yummy Goan Delight.



Water: 250 ML; Sugar: 500 Gms; Egg Yolks: 10 nos; Refined flour: 150 Gms;  Nutmeg Powder: 2 Gms; Coconut milk: 500 Ml; Pure Ghee: as desired.
In the KitchenAid stand mixer bowl pour coconut milk
Adjust the whisk
Add the Egg yolks

Add the Sugar syrup
Turn it on the KitchenAid Stand mixer to whisk
Add the flour ( nutmeg powder is added to the flour)

remove bowl from stand and strain for any lumps


In a pan over heat pour ghee

when the ghee melts pour a cup of the batter and spread evenly

when it looks like this take it under the grill or salamander


Under the grill
 Bake till golden brown, spread another spoonful of ghee and pour another cup of batter and spread evenly

keep baking and layering for lots of layers
This is what your bebinca will come out as
