Dry roast the semolina for 2 – 3 minutes and set aside.
In a vessel, combine powdered jaggery and one cup of water and heat until jaggery dissolves completely.
Then add coconut, cardamom powder and ghee and mix well.
Slowly add the roasted semolina and stir continuously without any lumps. Reduce the flame to low and cover with a lid.
Let it cook for a couple of minutes or until the mixture thickens (refer to the image).
Remove it from the flame and let it cool down a bit.
When it is still warm, knead it well.
Divide the dough into 12 round balls and flatten each ball between your palms.
Grease idli plates or steamer plates with little oil.
Place the shaped kudumulu/dumplings on greased plates.
Steam cook for 10 minutes over a high flame.
Let them cool and serve!

If you are using store-bought roasted sooji, you don't need to roast it again.

The water ratio should be 1:2. Make sure you measure everything before starting the process.

Wait for the jaggery water to boil thoroughly before adding the roasted rava.
