Wheat sweet snack
Ingredients:
250 grams of wheat
250 grams of jaggery
½ cup of water
1 cup of grated coconut
A pinch of cardamom powder (optional)
Preparation
Roast the Wheat: Take 250 grams of wheat and roast it in a pan over medium heat . Keep stirring continuously until the wheat starts to crackle and you get a nice aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and let the roasted wheat cool completely
Melt the Jaggery: In a separate pan, combine 250 grams of jaggery with ½ cup of water . Heat this mixture on medium flame, stirring occasionally, until the jaggery completely melts and forms a syrup.
Strain the Syrup: Once the jaggery is melted, strain the syrup through a fine sieve into another clean pan or bowl . This step is important to remove any impurities that might be present in the jaggery.
Grind the Roasted Wheat: Grind the cooled, roasted wheat in a mixer or grinder into a coarse powder . Make sure it’s not a very fine powder; it should have a slightly granular texture .
Mix with Coconut: In a mixing bowl, add the coarsely ground wheat and 1 cup of grated coconut. Mix them well so that the coconut is evenly distributed .
Combine with Jaggery Syrup: Pour the strained and melted jaggery syrup into the wheat-coconut mixture . Stir everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and form a thick, sticky mixture.
Cook Until Thickened: Transfer the mixture back to a pan and cook on medium heat, stirring continuously . Cook until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become hard.
Shape into Balls: Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly until it’s just warm enough to handle. Grease your palms with a little ghee or oil (optional) to prevent sticking, and then take small portions of the mixture and roll them into small, round balls .
Add Cardamom (Optional): If you like the flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom powder to the mixture while it’s still warm, before shaping the balls . Mix it in well.
Cool Completely: Arrange the prepared balls on a plate and let them cool completely at room temperature before serving . This will allow them to firm up.
