• Stirring continuously fry the mixture.

• After 5 to 8 minute the sugar is going to melt and it will stick together .
• Cook another 2 /3 minute or cook well till the moisture evaporates. ( Cook for more time  if it is soggy)
• Set aside and let it cool for some time.
• Take a handful of the mixture and make balls using your palms.
• Keep it in open air to cool down.

Note:   Try make the ball when it is still hot. Other wise it will not stick very well . When you are making balls wet your hand in cold milk that way you can protect your hand from burning.  If you like you can use jaggery in stead of sugar . Here I used organic cane sugar.
