Recipe

Ingredients: * 30g puffed rice (murmure/moodi) * 45g jaggery, grated or crushed * Cold water

Instructions:

1. In a pan or kadai, add the grated or crushed jaggery.
2. Cook on medium heat until the jaggery starts to melt, then reduce the heat to low.
3. Continue cooking until the jaggery becomes frothy.
4. To test if the jaggery is cooked, drop a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it solidifies and becomes brittle, it's ready.
5. Turn off the heat and add the puffed rice to the pan.
6. Mix well, ensuring the puffed rice is evenly coated with the melted jaggery.
7. Wet your palms with cold water to prevent sticking and burning.
8. Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into balls (laddoos) of the desired size.
9. Place the laddoos on a plate to cool.
10. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.

Tips: * Use cold water to wet your palms when shaping the laddoos to prevent burning. * Adjust the amount of jaggery according to your sweetness preference.
