Trivia Tadka
Ingredients
- Milk, full fat (4 cup)
- Fresh coconut, grated (2 cup)
- Jaggery (1 cup)
- Green cardamom powder (elaichi) (1 tsp)
Method
- Break the jaggery into small pieces.
- Heat water in a kadhai and add the jaggery to it. Slowly stir on medium heat till the pieces dissolve. Bring it to a slow boil and switch off the flame.
- Add elaichi powder and the grated coconut. Toss and stir to mix.
- Turn on the flame and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Keep cooking till the mix is sticky. It will take around 20 minutes.
- When the coconut coating is solid enough to shake off your stirring spoon, the mixture is done.
- Remove immediately from heat and spread it onto a plate.
- Scoop out a handful of coconut mix while it is warm, and roll it into a ball.
- Offer as prasad and store the rest in an airtight jar.
