Palli Laddu (Suguna Pinnamma's recipe)

All You Need:

• 1 cup Palli (groundnuts)
• 1 cup Jaggery

The Recipe:

• Roast the groundnuts without oil on a pan. Once they cool, peel off the skins
• Take the jaggery in a thick vessel and very very little water (few drops). Cook in sim.
• Let the jaggery melt
• Grind some groundnuts coarsely
• Take a plate of water and keep aside
• Keep mixing the jaggery on the stove till you get muduru pakam
• How to check for muduru pakam -> Add a drop in the water plate and collect it together. It should form a firm ball, not a loose one.
• Keep mixing the jaggery mixture. Bubbles will come...they keep coming. Wait till you get muduru pakam
• Add groundnuts once done and transfer to a bowl
• Every 5 mins keep mixing the palli mixture
• Once it is lukewarm, start making laddus. Wet your hands if needed to make laddus.
