4 cups of pori ( this is made by dry frying the aval)
1 cup of jaggery grated
½ cup of pottukadalai
½ cup of coconut cut into small pieces and stir fried in ghee
1 tsp cardamom powder
¼ tsp of dried ginger powder
Method:
In a big bowl mix the pori, pottukadalai coconut pieces,
Cardamom powder and dried ginger powder.
In a wok, add in the jaggery and ½ cup of water.
Make a thick syrup. Check by pouring little syrup
in a cup of cold water, it should form a ball.
Remove from stove and add the pori mixture and mix well,
with a big wooden spoon.
When it is warm enough to hold, take the mixture and shape
into balls using a little rice flour.
My grandmother usually leaves it loose and would not shape it into a ball. She would say that is authentic karthigai pori.
I have done the same.
