How to Make Maida Kozhukattai

• Take a hard-bottom pan and heat the ghee in it.
• Then, add a little water to the pan, and when water boils, add the powdered jaggery.
• When the jaggery melts, immediately add the grated coconut and keep stirring constantly, while keeping the gas low.
• When the entire mixture turns into a solid - without sticking to the pan - switch off gas and add cardamom powder.
• Knead maida into a soft, stretchy dough with water and oil.
• Roll the dough into uniform balls.
• Keep a tsp of the stuffing inside each ball and deep fry the balls in oil till they turn brown.
