Ingredients<\/span><\/h2>
  • 350g white raw rice flour\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • 3L thick coconut milk\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • 900g jaggery<\/span><\/li>
  • 250g brown sugar<\/span><\/li>
  • 12 pods of ground cardamom<\/span><\/li>
  • 200g cashew nuts\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • 1 tsp salt\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Instructions<\/span><\/h2>

    1. Chop the cashew nuts and grate the jaggery. Set them aside for later use.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    2. Sieve the rice flour to remove any lumps. Set aside 500ml of the coconut milk, and combine the remaining coconut milk with the rice flour.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    3. After mixing the rice flour and coconut milk thoroughly, strain the mixture to ensure it is smooth and free from any flour lumps.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    4. Heat the reserved coconut milk in a pan and add the grated jaggery. Melt the jaggery completely, leaving only small pieces. Use your hands if necessary to break down any large chunks.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    5. Stir in the brown sugar to the melted jaggery mixture. Place the pan over low heat and stir continuously until both the jaggery and sugar dissolve entirely.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    6. Mix the rice flour and coconut milk mixture thoroughly again, as the rice flour tends to settle at the bottom. Gradually pour it into the jaggery mixture, stirring continuously.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    7. Stir in the salt and ground cardamom. Increase the heat to medium and continue stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    8. After about 30 minutes, the mixture will thicken and begin to bubble. Continue stirring to avoid burning.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    9. When the mixture becomes very thick and starts releasing oil, add the chopped cashews. If excess oil appears, carefully spoon it out.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    10. Once the dodol has thickened to the desired consistency and doesn\u2019t stick to the sides of the pan, transfer it to a flat, greased surface. Press it down to flatten evenly.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    11. Allow the dodol to cool completely for 6-7 hours. Once cooled, cut it into pieces and serve.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      Kalu Dodol is a rich, traditional Sri Lankan sweet, perfect for celebrations or as a treat. With its soft, chewy texture and the delightful combination of jaggery, coconut milk, and cashews, it\u2019s a timeless favorite. Enjoy every bite of this homemade delicacy!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
