Place the stuffing on one half of the sheet and fold the remaining half back.

Get a little amount of water and press both the ends of stuffed puffs.
Step 8
Repeat the procedure for the remaining stuffing.

Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or till light brown and crispy.
Step 10
Add some ghee or butter on top of it {optional}.

The coconut pieces should get slightly crispy along with the beef. They add a textural contrast that makes the dish.
