Steps:

1. First soak the ada in plain water for 5 min.
2. Add this ada to the boiled water & cook until the ada becomes soft.
3.Then drain the water & wash the cooked ada in cold water , so that the ada will not stick to each other.
4.Add 1cup of water to the Jaggery & boil. Remove the mud from the Jaggery using a filter/strainer.
5. Heat the pan & put one tsp of ghee and then add the cooked ada as well as the jaggery water.
6. Cook for 10-15 min in low fire. Ada should get mixed with the jaggery.
