In a large saucepan combine water and sugar and melt the sugar in medium heat.  Add butter now and when butter melted completely add semolina and coconut. (Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter) cook over low heat for 5 more min.

Let it cool completely

In another bowl beat eggs for 2-3 mins. Then add baking powder and vanilla essence.
