Preparation Steps
- Dry roast the Verusenaga in a pan at a low flame. Do not over roast. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a bowl after peeling the skin off and keep it aside.
- Add jaggery to a pan and a little water and melt it completely.
- Clean the melted jaggery using a filter and add it to a fresh pan.
- Cook the jaggery in a low to medium flame until it thickens.
- You need to get a consistency where it is thick enough for a candy. Be very cautious and don't let it turn dark as it can spoil the taste.
- To test the consistency, take some water in a small bowl and drop a few drops of jaggery in it.
- If it turns into a glass like structure which is breakable then it is perfect.
- At this stage add the roasted Verusenaga and cardamom powder. Give it a mix. You can switch off the flame in one or two minutes after adding Verusenaga.
- Once it has mixed well transfer the contents to a square shaped container that is greased with ghee.
- Use a greased spoon too while filling and pressing it inside.
- Soon the contents get the shape of the container. You can flip it on a plate and remove the big bar of Verusenaga and jaggery.
- Using a greased knife cut it into small pieces. This can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed for over a month.
