Thiruvathira Kali (using Arrowroot)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup arrowroot powder

• 3/4 cup jaggery, grated

• 1/2 cup grated coconut

• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

• 2 cups water

• 1 tbsp ghee

Instructions:

• Roast Arrowroot: Dry roast the arrowroot powder in a pan until it's lightly aromatic. Remove and keep aside.

• Make Jaggery Syrup: In the same pan, add water and jaggery. Stir until the jaggery dissolves completely and forms a syrup.

• Cook Arrowroot with Syrup: Lower the flame and add the roasted arrowroot powder to the jaggery syrup gradually, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

• Add Coconut and Cardamom: Once it starts thickening, add grated coconut and cardamom powder. Continue stirring.

• Ghee for Gloss: As the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, add ghee and mix well.

• Serve: Transfer the Kali to a greased plate, spread it evenly, and cut into desired shapes once slightly cooled.
