It is so easy to make. All you have to look is for the right consistency. The syrup should get hard ball stage and then the rest is easy.
This is how you will know that the stage is attained.
When you take some syrup and pour it in a bowl of cold water, you should be able to gather the syrup into a ball and it gets hard ball and make a “donk” sound when you drop in a steel plate.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Hi Aarathi very nice thanks for sharing
I love ur explanation like 'donk'
Mam, my doubt is regarding jaggery syrup. When I poured some syrup in a plate, it dissolved. Later in few minutes, when i poured again, i was not able to gather those syrup. It attached with the plate. Did i overcook or need to cook more?
I think u have over cooked.
i couldnt make it into a ball… where i did the mistake
add more ghee and shape
