      These look delicious! We have an organic sugar here in France called rapadura – it is just raw dried cane juice – I think this the same or similar to jaggery, although it is not exactly the same colour but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Shall try it anyway! All the best from Normandie, Sue

      Hi,

      Thank you so much for the clear explanation. Your blog is a saviour on soany days for me. I did try this recipe for Vinayaka chavithi but somehow couldn’t get to make the shape. My Pindi was breaking off at different points and it couldnt hold the shape of a bowl/cup as it kept breaking off in the bottom. Any idea how I could rectify this?

      Thanks in advance,
      Nikhila

        Hi Nikhila, Thank you so much for your compliments.. If the outer later is too thin or stiff it may break and the dough should be soft and smooth. If the dough is stiff / dry, sprinkle little warm water and knead it again. Sorry for my late reply. Have a great day! 🙂
