1. Dissolve the sugar in the water in a pan on moderate heat.

3. Add the coconut and bread to the remaining sugar syrup and cook till it comes together and the moisture is absorbed (approximately 5-7 minutes). Do not let the mixture get too dry.
4. Add the dried fruits and butter / ghee; mix well.
5. Pour on to a greased plate and leave to set. Gently arrange the cooked egg yolk on top, if desired.
