Ghee to grease your palms
Dissolve the jaggery in water,filter to remove impurities.Pour the filtered jaggery in a pan & bring it to a boil.In medium low flame boil the jaggery till it reaches to a ball consistency(This means when we take a drop of jaggery juice and pour it in water, it should not dissolve, should be able to make a ball out of it).
Switch off the stove add the dry ginger powder,cardamom powder,coconut bits & pori/puffed rice.Mix it well, grease your palm with ghee & form it out into small balls while still warm.Cool & store it in an air tight container.
Note: Use only pagu vellam (jaggery) for this recipe.The syrup should be a ball consistency,it is very important,otherwise you won't be able to make balls.Balls has to be rolled fast,otherwise it will go dry.If your mixture doesn't hold slightly warm the mixture & try making balls.Apply some ghee or dust your hand with rice flour while making balls.
