This is a very simple recipe that I saw in aval vikatan magazine. It can be made in a jiffy once you keep all the ingredients ready. It is a very nutritious recipe too since it contains ragi and jaggery and both are rich in iron. It just melts in your mouth. Even kids will love it.
2. Simultaneously, heat powdered jaggery along with little water just to immerse the jaggery till 3/4 level. Once the jaggery dissolves switch off the stove after a single boil. Strain the syrup and set aside.
3. Add the broken cashews and cardamom to the flour and mix well. Add the jaggery syrup little by little till you are able to form a big ball with the dough. You need to make sure there is no lumps formed in this step.
4. Grease your hands with little ghee and form small balls with the dough. Enjoy the tasty nutritious balls!
Ingredients:
- Ragi flour - 1 cup
- Jaggery (powdered, I used achu vellam)- 1cup
- Cashew - 10 to 12 broken
- Cardamom powder - 1/2tsp
- Ghee- just to grease hands
Method:
1. In a kadai, dry roast the ragi flour in medium low or low flame. This is the most important step. It needs to be roasted till a nice fragrance arises. Take care not to burn the flour by stirring continuously. If the flour is not properly roasted you will get a uncooked flour taste in your balls. Transfer the roasted flour in a wide bowl.
3. Add the broken cashews and cardamom to the flour and mix well. Add the jaggery syrup little by little till you are able to form a big ball with the dough. You need to make sure there is no lumps formed in this step.
4. Grease your hands with little ghee and form small balls with the dough. Enjoy the tasty nutritious balls!
