Dry roast puffed rice until crispy and set aside.

In a wok, add ghee and let it melt.

Add jaggery and cook on low flame until it melts (18-20 minutes) while stirring continuously.

To check the consistency of jaggery, drop a little jaggery syrup into a bowl of water; it must become hard immediately and break without getting stringy.

Add roasted puffed rice and mix well.

Make balls out of the mixture or set it on a greased flattened surface, cut into pieces, and leave to cool completely.
