Karthigai Pori Urundai


Ingredients: 
Aval Pori (Puffed rice flakes) – 8 cups
Jaggery powdered – 2 cups
Coconut (cut into small pieces) – 1 c
Cardamom Powder – 1 teaspoon
Dry ginger powder (Sukku podi) – 1/2 teaspoon



Method:
Put the cleaned Pori in a large plate.



Dry roast the coconut pieces slightly and keep aside.
In a kadai put the jaggery and add 1/2 cup water and make a thick syrup. (If you pour little syrup in a bowl of water, it should form a ball shape when you roll it with your fingers. That is the right consistency). Add cardamom powder, dry ginger powder and fried coconut pieces and stir well. 


Remove from stove and add the Pori and mix it thoroughly using a big flat spoon.
When it is warm enough to hold by hand, take the mixture and make orange size balls dusting your hands with rice flour or with little ghee.
