The small containers used, were purchased from Bandra, 30 years ago.
Sadly, could not find them again now.

Tips:
Can be made 10 to 15 days in advance and filled later.
Recipe can be doubled.
Once the filling is ready, use it immediately.
Get someone to help in mixing the colours and filling.

If doing alone, mix 1 colour at a time and keep the remaining filling in the pan itself, this way it will won’t dry soon and you can fill 1 colour at a time.
Then next take out some, add colour and fill. Once the last colour is added add the basket handle.

If your coconut filling dries up before filling the basket, add very little water and keep again on fire and let it melt, and then fill the rest of the baskets.

If doing in large quantities, you can colour the entire batch of coconut filling with 1 colour at a time and fill the baskets immediately.
Then take the next colour and so on.

You can get 30 small baskets or 20 to 25 regular size baskets.
Once the Christmas Baskets are ready, they are good for a week outside.
Happy Baking
