Preparing the simple Deepavali sweet comes by practice, but the challenge lies in setting our hands on the hot material to make balls out of it. Another task is to maintain the crispness for more than couple of weeks.

Dark sticky jaggery must be used. By making the jaggery or sugar in string or stone consistency, we can satisfy the crisp requirement. Besides this, the sweet must be stored in air tight container to remain crisp for a longer time. Some might leave it as it is, after mixing ingredients in stone consistency syrup, but a passionate chef or a devoted home maker combats with the heat to roll it into balls.

Some cooks shallow fry til seeds, roasted gram dal (also known as pottu kadalai or poricha kadalai), chopped coconut pieces along with puffed rice before adding them all in the jaggery syrup. The puffed rice and jaggery ratio is another focus while making the sweet. Usually one cup of jaggery is used for four cups of puffed rice.
