To make jaggery syrup

  • Soak the jaggery in the water.
  • Once the jaggery has disintergrated, bring this to a slow boil.
  • Skim the impurities that float on top.
  • Once the jaggery is completely dissolved and the liquid comes to a bubbling boil, remove off the heat.
  • Strain and set it aside.
  • Clean the mango and chop the pulp or gently mash it to get a pulp form with a few pieces.
  • Add this to the deep pan and bring to simmer.
  • As it turns glossy, strain and add the jaggery syrup.
  • Keep stirring and let this cook
  • As it bubbles add the thin coconut extract and cook again.
  • This is a slow process done on low heat.
  • Keep stirring so that it doesn't catch the bottom of the pan.
  • As it bubbles add the dry ginger powder and cardamom (crushed or powdered) and continue cooking till the mix is almost reduced to half.
  • At this stage remove from heat, stir in the coconut thick extract ( or coconut cream).
  • In a separate small pan add the oil and roast the coconut slices,
  • Once they are golden pour over the hot prathaman.
  • Mix well and the dessert is ready to be served.
