Preparation Steps
- Take a heavy pan and heat it.
- Add small pieces of jaggery into the pan, pour water that is little enough to make the jaggery immerse in and melt it
- You can clean the jaggery once it has melted using a filter.
- Now in a clean pan add the filtered jaggery and at a low to medium flame heat it until it thickens.
- The jaggery should turn into a stringy consistency.
- The consistency of jaggery is so important as it also ensures the crispness of the snack.
- You can check it by taking a drop of jaggery in a small bowl of water and try to roll it into a ball.
- If jaggery can be rolled into a small ball then the consistency is perfect.
- At this stage, add the puffed rice and give it a mix.
- When puffed rice is mixed well, add ghee and cardamom powder and mix them too.
- For extra crunch, you can also add a few chopped and roasted cashews or roasted gram or sliced coconut but this is completely optional.
- Once all the contents are mixed well turn off the flame and let it warm.
- Grease your palms with ghee and roll the puffed rice and jaggery mixture into a ball.
- Make sure you roll them while it is hot enough to touch as it won't be possible if it had cooled down to room temperature.
- Puffed rice balls can be stored in an air-tight container and enjoyed for around 30 days.
