karupatti mittai recipe

Karupatti mittai recipe / Chenni Mittai recipe / Palm Jaggery Swirl Sweet is an authentic south Indian diwali sweet. This is my father’s favorite recipe. I wanted to post some traditional south Indian sweets so when I was talking to appa (dad) the other day, he gave me 2 recipe ideas, one is karupatti mittai and second one is mundhirikothu recipe which I shared yesterday. Making karupatti mittai is really fun and easy. You can make this sweet with available ingredients like rice and urad dal. For sweetness, you can use karupatti (palm jaggery) or chenni (sugar). One of my American friend Darlene came to our home, she tasted and said it was awesome, she totally loved karupatti mittai. I love both karupatti and chenni mittai. Bored with jangri or jilebi then try this for coming diwali , you will love it and let me know your feedback.

Adding dry ginger powder is optional, but if you add gives you a nice taste.
