- Take jaggery in a heavy bottomed vessel. Then pour water just enough to immerse jaggery.Heat it and when jaggery dissolves completely,filter it in a metal strainer to remove impurities if any.
- Then again start heating the jaggery syrup (wash the vessel as it will have impurities). When it starts boiling, at one stage, the syrup will get frothy.At this stage add the ground dal paste, salt and coconut. Stir continuously without forming any lumps.Add elachi powder and mix thoroughly.

Notes
- You can add jaggery slightly more if you are sweet toothed. But do not add too much as it will make the stuffing sticky.
- add a pinch of salt while stirring.
- For ganesh chaturthi, we do this the before day and refrigerate. My MIL even makes equal sized balls and keep ready so that the next day its less work.
