Tips:

You may skip the puran grinding step and smash the dal by hand only.

Adjust the amount of jaggery used according to your requirement.

Take care you steam the Kadabu for minimum 15 minutes. If they are not steamed properly, they will hard to digest.

Don’t hurry to remove the steamed Kadabu from steamer. Otherwise, they will stick to the strainer and break while removing.
