Mundiri urundai/ Cashew Balls

This is an item I learnt from my Mom in law. We so this for the festival of Karthigai.

Cashew is an all time fovourite for many of us. So lets explore.

Things we need

Cashew 1/4 kg

Jaggery 200 gm

Cardamom powder

Ghee to fry

Water

In a kadai, fry the cashew and keep them aside. Dissolve the jaggery in 1/2 glass of water & aloow it to boil. After 2 mins, when the jaggery is disso;ved, drain it into another vessel till the residue is left in the kadai. Most of the jeggery we buy contains some sediments of mud. Clean that out & put the liquid back in kadai & boil it well. Add the cardamom powder.

Now boil it till we get the right consistency. For that, have a small cup of water beside. Then add the jaggery syrup to the water. The jaggery will sink & not dissolve. And if you are able to make a small ball with it, its done.

Add the syrup to the cashew. Mix well. Have a little water beside. Make small balls with it.

That is all. Cashew Balls are done.
