  • In a pan mix together jaggery and water and bring it to boil.
  • When the jaggery is melt, pour this through a sieve to remove the impurities.
  • Now pour it back into the pan and let it boil. Add ginger and cardamom powders.
  • You need to keep a close watch to bring the syrup to correct consistency.
  • Keep a plate with water nearby. Place a small drop of the syrup in water. It shouldn't dissolve in water.
  • When rolled you should be able to make a hard ball which when hits the floor should produce a noise.
  • WHen the syrup reaches this stage, remove from flame and add all the pori to the syrup.
  • Work fast and mix the syrup and jaggery evenly.
  • Roughly make balls out of the pori mixture while still hot.
  • Then shape it into a tight ball.
  • If you feel that it is sticky, then touch rice flour and then shape.
  • The sugar becomes hard very fast so you need to be faster. If you couldn't remove pori from the pan, keep it on flame for a while.
  • The syrup will start melting and the pori will come off easily.
  • When the balls are cool, store in airtight box.
