Ingredients

  • 1 cup museli of your choice
  • 1 cup melted and sieved thick jaggery
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder
  • Clarified butter for greasing

Method:

  1. Heat an iron pan. Add muesli and dry roast on medium heat to low heat stirring continuously for 5 – 8 minutes or until crisp. Keep aside.

  3. Heat the melted and sieved thick jaggery in the same iron pan with 1 tbsp of water. Boil on a low heat for about 10 – 12 minutes till the jaggery thickens into a thick syrup.

[To test whether the syrup is ready, drop a teaspoon of hot jaggery syrup in cup of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, then the syrup is ready. If the syrup is not ready, it won’t form a ball and you can see the jaggery syrup dilute in water]

  1. At this stage add the muesli and cardamom powder. Mix well until the muesli is well coated with the jaggery syrup.
  2. Spread this muesli – jaggery mixture into the greased baking tray and spread it evenly with the base of a flat spatula. Cut into desired shape and size when the mixture is very hot. Keep aside to cool for 20 minutes and remove carefully.
