Note :

I have added organic jaggery which I got from my relative who stays near Sagara. Fresh from Aale mane. ( Alemane is the place where they prepare jaggery). You can buy organic jaggery to use it. It is an healthy option. Or you can powder normal jaggery which is available in the market. Adding pepper is optional. It adds to the aroma and taste good. Adding coconut is optional. Coconut adds to the taste and aroma too.
Time : 30 Minutes.
Serves : 3 to 4.
