Pazham Nurukku
Old-fashioned Kerala sweetmaking — no shortcuts, no substitutes. Jaggery, ghee, and coconut come together through slow cooking and patience into something far greater than the sum of their parts.
Ingredientsfor 2 servings
- 2 nos Banana
- 3 piece Jaggery
- 1/2 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
Preparation
Step 1
Cut banana into one inch round pieces.
Step 2
Pour water and add the jaggery in a pan. Heat until the jaggery melts. Strain to remove dirt if any.
Step 3
Heat ghee in a pan and transfer banana pieces into the hot pan.
Step 4
When the banana turns lightly browned, add melted jaggery to it.
Step 5
Stir everything together thoroughly and let it go for 5 minutes in medium flame. Add cardamom powder and take it off the heat after it becomes dry.
Step 6
Pazham Nurukku is ready to serve.
Tip
When working with jaggery, always melt and strain it first. Even the best quality jaggery has some grit that needs to be removed.
