Directions

In a pan, we mix the yogurt with the sugar. We dilute soda with 50 g. of juice and we pour them into the bowl. We add the rest of the ingredients, while stirring together. We butter well (we leave the butter), a baking sheet and we bake the samali at 170 ° C for 30-40 minutes (we check if it is brown). We make the syrup with its ingredients boiling for 10-15 minutes.
Hot as the sweet comes out we cut it with a knife that we often dive into hot water. We pour into the hot syrup too. We sprinkle with coconut.
