This is an old traditional recipe. Its very easy and  a healthy snack.  My sister in law used to make this often and my husband like it very much!!

Ingredients:

Boiled rice                                : 2 cups
Whole moong dal                     : 3/4 cup
Jaggery                                     : 1/2 kg
Cocounut
(cut into very small pieces)      : 1/4 cup

Method:

Roast boiled rice to light brown colour. Roast moong dal till it changes it colour. Dry grind it together in a mixie to a course powder and keep aside.




Take jaggery in a thick bottomed vessel, add 1 cup of water to this and let it boil till the jaggery dissolves. Remove from fire and filter it to remove the impurities. Again boil it till the syrup becomes 1 string consistancy ( when the syrup drops into a plate with water it will  not spread, you can make small ball with it)  Add coconut pieces and remove from fire.





Take a portion of the powder, add 1 ladle of the syrup to this and mix with a spoon. When it is warm make balls out of it, roll the balls in the powder to get a coat over it. Be careful, not to touch the hot syrup with hands.
Do the same method with the remaining powder and syrup.  If the syrup thickens while making the last portion just heat it for 5 seconds and you can continue making the rest of it.
