Ellu Bella Recipe
Sankranti Ellu Bella Mix Recipe
Servings: 3 People
Ingredients
1 cup – 200ml
- ¼ cup Roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup Fried gram dal/Hurigadale
- 2 tbsp White sesame seeds
- 2 - 3 tbsp Dried coconut pieces
- ¼ cup Jaggery pieces
- 2 tbsp Sugar balls ( optional)
- 2 tbsp Sugar coated Jeera or fennel seeds
Instructions
- Take the whole dried coconut. Grate it using a grater to remove the skin. Slice it using a chips slicer to make thin slices. Chop into very small pieces using a sharp knife. Spread in a plate.
- Take the jaggery and cut into small blocks using a knife. Then cut them into very small pieces using scissors or nut cracker tool. I used scissors ( Achu vellam/Achu bella works the best. But I used round ones). Spread the jaggery pieces in the plate.
- Microwave peanuts in high power for 2-3 minutes. Remove in a cover or cloth and rub it well to remove the skin. Break them into 2 and keep aside.
- Sun dry the coconut & jaggery pieces for 2 – 4 hours OR Dry roast the coconut pieces without changing the color. Warm the jaggery pieces without melting. Sun drying is the best option though. Dry roast sesame seeds till it crackles. Set aside to cool.
- In a wide bowl, take the roasted, broken peanuts, fried gram dal, sugar balls, jeera mittai, dried coconut pieces and jaggery pieces. Mix well and store in a box. Distribute to your Family & Friends !
