How to prepare Palm Jaggery syrup

Ingredients:

  • Palm jaggery (chakkara) – One large Pieces (One medium ball size)
  • Water – half cup

Method

  • Break the chakkara chunks into small pieces as much as possible. ( Either grate the jaggery using the grater or break it into small pieces using the hand mortar and pestle.)
  • Take water in the saucepan and mix the broken chakkara pieces in.
  • Heat the saucepan and keep stirring on medium flame.
  • In 3-4 minutes, all the pieces will melt to form a brown colour solution and the water will start boiling.
  • Keep stirring till the solution attains a syrup like consistency- however not too thick.
  • Switch off the flame and strain it immediately using the steel strainer into another bowl. It looks like honey at this stage.
  • Once cool, store in a dry, air tight jar.Use 1-2 spoons of the syrup to your baby’s porridge or meal as you see fit.

Refrigerating the syrup might be a good option, to prevent fungi growth.
