    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a small saucepan, heat the jaggery and water until the jaggery is completely dissolved. Strain to remove any impurities.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, salt, cardamom, and coconut milk.

    3

    Gradually pour in the jaggery syrup, mixing continuously until you have a smooth, thick batter.

    4

    Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    5

    Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

    6

    Using a ladle, pour small portions of the batter into the hot oil and fry until the konda kavum is golden brown and crispy.

    7

    Remove the fried sweets and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

    8

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve fresh.
