Can someone comment on its health benefits. I feel it is a good recipe for winters?
Don’t you have to make jaggery into syrup before mixing the sesame seed powder & coconut ?
@vijaya murthi no you dont have to. Infact you don’t have to grind the jaggery if you have a soft jaggery that is grated. thanks
