Sweetened Jowar Dhani

BM #77 Week 2 Day 1 - 

This week I shall focus on some whole grain recipes which can be fun to make and enjoy. For day 1, I tried to make a Jowar Dhani Laddu, but in my over enthusiasm I poured in more jowar dhani than the syrup could handle. So I ended up with a dry version of jowar dhani laddu. That is when I decided we could enjoy it more like caramelized popcorn. 

When my little one first tasted it, she asked me if it was caramelized popcorn :). We all loved it but the sweet hater at home aka my older one said she loves the spicier version (Jowar Dhani Chivda) better.  I rest my case for your judgement. So try and let me know.

Ingredients - 

Jowar Dhani / Popped Jowar / Jonna Pelalu 3 cups
Jaggery powdered 1/2 cup
Almonds chopped and roasted 2 Tbsp
Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp

Sweetened Jowar Dhani

Method Of Preparation -


In a heated non stick kadai, add powdered jaggery and about 2-3 tablespoons of water. Let it come to a boil and check to see when the syrup is of a one string consistency.

Sprinkle the cardamom powder and chopped almonds.

Reduce the heat and pour in the popped jowar. Mix well and remove from heat. 

[If the jowar is reduced to about 2 cups, the mixture can be rolled into smaller portions of laddus.]

Allow it to cool and enjoy.
