These macaroons contain just 62 calories. This recipe will yield 16 macaroons. I have used dessicated coconut here but you can substitute dessicated coconut with fresh coconut. If using fresh coconut, then dry roast for a few minutes till moisture evaporates and then use.
If you prefer a very intense rose flavor, then you can try using 2 tbsp of Rooh Afza (a famous rose drink concentrate which is widely consumed in India). In that case, you can omit sugar since Rooh afza contains a lot of sugar.
