Ingredients

Borugulu                                            3 cups
Jaggery                                               1 cup
Cardamom powder
Little water
Ghee                                                   2-3 spoons

How I did it

1. Clean borugulu with maggot and remove stones if any.
2. Take thick bottom vessel add powdered jaggery and very little water on medium heat.
3. See the jaggery melts and begins to concentrate.
4. Stir well frequently, otherwise it will burn. The syrup should be thick and sticky.
5. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to prepare syrup. Stir continuously.
6. To check whether the syrup is ready or not, take little cool water in a plate, drop few drops of jaggery syrup in it and roll with your fingers.
7. If it rolls without spreading and breaking, it means your syrup is ready and you can switch off the stove.
8. Sprinkle cardamom powder.
9. Then add borugulu and stir well. Borugulu will start to soak up in syrup in 2-3 minutes.
10. Apply ghee to your palm, take the mixture and make round shape like a ball gently.
11. Follow the same procedure for the remaining mixture also before the mixture completly cools down.

Keep them in air tight box. Crunchy Borugu Muddalu are ready to keep you busy.
