Equipment
- Food processor/Grinder
- Thali/platter
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanuts roasted
- 1/2 cup jaggery grated
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut roasted
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixer grind the nuts and jaggery together until coarse and well blended.
- Add the coconut and blend until the mixture has gotten finer and evenly combined. You should be able to bring the mixture into a rough ball at that stage.
- Add the cardamom and salt, blend again and transfer the mixture to a plate. Add the ghee and using your fingers massage the ingredients together until combined. It should feel like damp sand.
- Using a tablespoon, portion the mixture in your hands and form into balls. Decorate with chocolate or dried rose petals.
Notes
- Grind the peanuts well before adding the coconut. We are looking for a fine mixture.
- If the mixture is not forming balls, add a little more ghee and mix it well before forming them into balls again.
