cup of water.
3.
When the jaggery dissolves completely, switch off the stove.
4.
Filter the syrup with steel filter and keep it aside. [Avoid nylon filter]
5.
Now grind the soaked mixture with coconut and cardamom. After half ground, add jaggery
syrup and grind into a paste. [not fine paste]
6.
If you need more water, then sprinkle some water and grind. Do not add more
water ( I did not add water and got good results ). The sugar syrup is enough
to grind the mixture. The batter consistency is idly batter consistency.
