Semolina/Rava, Grated Coconut, Eggs, Granulated Sugar, Cardamom powder, Salt & Ghee. Bolinhas are classic Goan cookies, made with semolina and coconut. These delicious coconut cookies or biscuits are lightly crisp on the outside & soft inside. They are a heavenly tea time treat which can be enjoyed throughout the year but have a place of pride on the Christmas platter. You just have to bite into this divine cookie to experience a burst of coconut flavor! … they literally crumble & melt in your mouth. In Goa, they are baked in wood fired bakeries & the homemade ones are made in a clay oven placed on a clay stove. Besides firewood they also use dry coconut shells, leaves & charcoal to light up the fire to bake. This process is still used in Goa for baking.
