* When you buy a new rose cookie mould, apply oil in it and leave it for 2 to 3 days prior to making the cookies. The first couple of cookies may not come out properly. Be patient and keep trying.
* Do not add more coconut milk or sugar than mentioned. This ratio is perfect for crisp, light rose cookies that comes off easily from the mould by itself.
* While dipping the mould in the batter, be gentle and never dip completely. Just 3/4 th of the mould should be dipped.
* You need patience, never do it in hurry –while dipping or keeping flame high.
* Regulate the heat but never let the oil become too hot or too low in heat.
* You can cook 3 cookies at a time. But make sure the mould is always left in the hot oil while your cookies are still being fried.
* While draining, let the shallow part downside, so that the oil doesn't remain inside the cookies.
* Cumin seeds and black sesame seeds are optional, but if used, it adds flavour to your cookies.
