Expert Tips

• Mixing jaggery – I turn off the flame and add jaggery. This helps it melt slowly and mix evenly without hardening.
• work fast – After adding jaggery, I mix and quickly transfer. If delayed, the mixture may become crumbly.
• setting – I level the mixture evenly in the tray while it is still hot. This helps to even out the pieces.
