Wow! I feel so glad to read about your childhood memories with this sweet dear @SoniaK . Its really wonderful how few things have such an impact and remind us about our past. I am so so glad you have such great school memories with similar sweet. You are very correct, this sweet is similar to rice cake filled with grated coconut cooked in Gurr (Juggery).
I would definitely love to share the recipe. I’ll write the details and post it soon
