Coming with traditional kids special ofcourse everybody like it very much. A light snack made with Borugulu or also called as Maramaralu in some areas or puffed rice in English - BORUGU MUDDALU. As holidays are going on children stay at home, frequently looking for muching some snack. This time we planned to prepare borugu muddalu. As I go back into my flashback, I remember my school days, brings back favorite memories. My grandmother used to prepare these borugu muddalu in large quantity in hundreds as we children ate without hesitating. They very tasty with mild sweet of jaggery and good flavor of cardamom powder.



OK.Let us go to prepare this delicious snack item.

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.

You can also add little sonti podi or pepper powder also in the jaggery.
