Ingredients: # Kala Channa 2 Cups # Sesame Seeds 1/2 Cup # Grated Coconut(dry) 1/2 Cup # Powdered Cardamom 1 Tsp # Jaggery 2 1/2 Cups Method: Roast the first three ingredients seperately and let them cool. Grind the kala channa to make smooth powder and sesame seeds should be coarse powder. Add 1/3 cup of water to the jaggery in a thick bottomed vessel and warm the mixture at medium heat while stirring to mix well until the mixture becomes a little thick and starts to boil. (you can put a drop of the syrup in a cup of water to test the consistency. If the syrup doesn't dissolve, you have the right consistency, otherwise you need to continue to heat the mixture) Then remove the mixture from the stove and add the first four ingredients and keep on stirring and mixing until the mixture cools. Serve the Panchakajjaya with a teaspoon of melted ghee on top. Note: You can use powdered sugar instead of jaggery. When you use sugar, you simply mix all the powdered ingredients. |
