Pottukadalai Urundai(Roasted gram dal balls)

1. Heat water in a heavy bottomed pan, add the grated jaggery. When the jaggery dissolves, strain it to remove sand. Again add the strained jaggery syrup in the pan and allow it to boil

2. When the jaggery syrup starts to thicken up, add a drop of jaggery syrup in a bowl of water. The syrup should not dissolve, this is the correct consistency. Now add cardamom powder and remove from flame. Now add pottukadalai to the jaggery syrup and mix well

3. Grease your hands with little rice flour and take small quantities of pottukadalai and try to make small balls. Initially as the jaggery syrup is hot, we cannot make stiff balls. Don’t worry, once it cools off a little we can make it. Again wet the hands with water and firmly hold each ball to make it stiff

4. Finally we are now ready with the yummy pottukadalai urundai and we can start our neivedhyam
