Chocolate Pori Urundai Recipe
Chocolate Pori Urundai is a crispy sweet made using puffed rice and jaggery with cocoa powder added. This recipe has crunchy texture with mild chocolate flavor which makes it little different from regular pori urundai. The chocolate taste blends with jaggery and gives rich flavour. It is a simple sweet but kids like it more because of chocolate taste.
Servings12 balls
Ingredients
- ½ cup jaggery
- ⅓ cup water
- 3 cups puffed rice / pori
- 1 tablespoon coco powder
- 1 tablespoon dark choco chips
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
Instructions
- Measure jaggery and add it in a pan, add water and dissolve it well.
- Heat it up for 2mins just for the jaggery to get dissolved. Strain to remove impurities.
- Heat up the jaggery syrup, add coco powder, choco chips.
- Add vanilla essence. Mix well so that there are no lumps formed.
- Keep cooking. Consistency check : Keep a separate plate ready filled with little water. Take a drop of jaggery syrup and put it in water, it should stand firm and not dissolve as shown below.
- First it will form soft loose ball then forms a firm ball but not loose when you roll it with your fingers. When this consistency is reached, add the pori. Switch off and add the puffed rice.
- Mix well so that it coats evenly. Grease your palms with ghee or oil and roll them into tight balls taking care not to break the pori. Store in airtight container and enjoy Chocolate Pori Urundai!
Notes
- Jaggery syrup – I usually cook the jaggery till correct stage. If syrup is not ready the balls may not hold shape.
- Mixing cocoa – I mix cocoa powder well in syrup so lumps does not form. This gives even chocolate flavor.
- Pori freshness – I use fresh puffed rice for best crunch. If it is soft the texture may not come good.
- Shaping – I grease my hands with ghee before shaping. It helps to roll balls easily when the mixture is warm.
- Cooking flame – I just keep the flame low while cooking the syrup. High flame may burn the jaggery.
