Kartik poornima pori

Ingredients:

• Aval pori or Nel pori - 4 cups [ puffed poha ]
• Jaggery - 1 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup
• Coconut bits - 1/4 cup
• Cardamom powder - 5 to 6 [ powdered ]
• Ghee - 1 sp

Method:

Remove the rusk and dust from the pori, and keep aside [do not wash in water]. Fry the pori for 5 mints in hot kadai till it becomes crisp. Keep jaggery in a kadai adding 3/4 cups of water, heat and boil. When the jaggery is melted, strain through a strainer to remove the dirt from jaggery. Replace and boil well till it reaches one string consistency. If you drop in a bowl of water it will form a pillet. [i.e it won't dissolve]. At this stage, put off the gas, add 1 sp ghee, put the pories, powdered cardamom, coconut bits and mix well. Every thing should be done quickly. Then speard it on the news paper, after it cools store it in container. When it is still hot it can be made into laddu shaped balls.
