Grated Jaggery – 1 cup

2) Drain the water and cook it with 2-3 cups of water until soft and cooked. Drain the excess water and keep it aside.
3) Add jaggery with 1/4 of water in a heavy bottom pan and stir well until it melts. Strain the jaggery water and keep aside.
4) Add jaggery water in the same pan and keep boiling and stirring until it thickens slightly.
