Tips & Tricks
You can add or substitute nuts as per your choosing. Cashews, raisins and macadamia are good alternatives.
Nuts can be roasted in an oven as well. Mix the nuts in the spice mix made in Step 1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius and roast the nuts for 5-8 minutes or till they are golden in colour. Check constantly to avoid burnt nuts.
You can use granulated white sugar, raw sugar, honey, or maple syrup to glaze the nuts instead of jaggery.
