Method
- Mix little water and jaggery and heat it till jaggery is all melted without any lumps.
- Heat it till it comes to a boil. My Mil did a drop-in-the-water-to-see-if-ready test.
- Drop some spoon of boiling jaggery in water.
- Leave it for 5 seconds and then take it and try to roll into a ball.
- If you can and it becomes hard, then its ready.
- Saute the coconut pieces in little ghee and keep aside.
- Alternatively dry roast the peanuts till evenly brown and then add it to the jaggery syrup along with the coconut pieces. Incorporate well.
- Let it cool a bit and then start making it into round shapes.
- Care should be taken to not let it cool a lot cos then it would be hard to shape them.
- The fingers should feel relatively hot.
