The most important thing for making this peanut balls is the jaggery should be nice “Paagu Vellam”. If not, you can not make out the syrup consistency. We generally use Raw peanuts, roast them and phew out the skin and make the urundai. We also get Roasted unsalted peanuts in shops . Verkadalai urundai in tamil
Add 1/2 cup of jaggery in a saucepan and add 1/4 cup of water. Melt the jaggery and filter the impurities.
Add this back to the pan and let this boil into a thick syrup. Add in the elachi powder or sukku powder to this. Pour few drops of syrup in a bowl filled with water. If you could gather it into a whole mass and make a hard ball then it is perfect.
Keep the roasted peanuts in a wide bowl and pour the jaggery syrup on this.I used store bought roasted unsalted peanuts. You can use raw peanuts and dry roast them and phew away the skin.Mix the syrup and peanut mixture well using a spoon.
When it is warm enough to handle, grease your hands with ghee. Start making the balls. Take a small portion of the peanut jaggery mixture in hands and make urundais.Towards the end, when the mixture becomes hard, show it to flame for few seconds and it will melt down, then you can make the urundai.
Store in airtight container.
