Ingredients

  • Roasted gram / Pottukadalai – 1 cup
  • Jaggery – 1/2 cup (powdered)
  • Water – 1/4 cup
  • Cardamom powder – 2 (powdered)
  • Ghee/oil - 1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Heat the pan and add water and jaggery and mix it well. Once the jaggery has dissolved, switch off the gas stove and strain it to remove impurities.

  2. Heat the pan again with the jaggery syrup, add cardamom powder and boil it again for 2 minutes till the syrup starts thickening.

  3. Keep a small bowl with little water handy. Lower the flame and add few drops of jaggery syrup in the bowl to check consistency. It should not get dissolved in water immediately and you should be able to form a ball with it. If you’ve not reached this consistency, boil it for few more minutes and check again.

  4. Once you’ve reached that consistency, switch off the gas stove and add the roasted gram and gently mix well with jaggery syrup till you don’t find any syrup at the bottom of the vessel.

  5. Grease your hands with some ghee and start making balls. Do not wait for it to completely cool down completely or it would be difficult to make balls of it.
