Ingredients:
2 tbsps grated jaggery
2 glasses water
pinch of dry ginger pwd
1 coarsely crushed cardamom
6-7 coarsely crushed pepper corns
Mix the grated jaggery in water and let it dissolve completely. Filter the
jaggery water. Add dried ginger powder, crushed cardamom and crushed
pepper. Mix well and serve it at room temperature or chilled.
Sometimes during the hot season I serve this traditional Indian drink as a
summer cooler or a welcome drink to quench the thirst and its cooling
properties helps to cool our system too. This age-old simple recipe has the
luxury of the cardamom flavor,the sharp heat of the pepper and ginger pwd
blending with the sweet flavor of jaggery water which is so refreshing that you
can have 2-3 glasses at one go and still be asking for more..:).
Note:Ginger ,Pepper and Sonti (dry ginger) are traditionally recommended by
Ayurvedic Nutrition to heal ailments of the stomach and throat and especially
recommended as home remedies for cold and cough

Bellam (Teepi) Garelu Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup whole urad dal (black gram dal, minappappu)
salt to taste
oil for deep frying
1 cup grated jaggery, add water, cook to prepare a syrup that is sticky on
touch
1 1/2 cups water
Method:
Soak whole black gram dal in water for 2 hours.
Strain the water, and grind the dal to a paste sprinkling little water and salt.
Use small portions of dal to grind batch wise as its easier to grind into a soft
paste. Beat till fluffy.
Heat water, add the jaggery and let it melt and form a syrup which is sticky to
touch.
While the jaggery is forming a syrup, deep fry the vadas.
Take a deep frying vessel, add enough oil and heat till piping hot.
Wet your hands with water, take a lemon-sized ball of batter and flatten it into
a vada on a greased sheet or banana leaf.
Make a hole in the centre of the vada so that it cooks evenly all over.
Slowly drop the vada into the hot oil carefully and fry it on both sides on
medium heat to a golden brown color.
Deep fry 4-5 vadas per batch depending on the size of the vessel.
Immediately dip these fried vadas into the jaggery syrup. Let them sit in this
syrup till the next batch of vadas are deep-fried.
Remove them onto a serving plate and drop the next batch of vadas into the
syrup.
Drizzle some left over syrup over vadas before serving and serve hot while
the crust is still crisp.

was worth it). Let cool of completely. Mean while, melt the ghee and let this
cool also.Now take the roasted urad dal and grind it to a smooth powder using
a mixer or a food processor. (First I used the mixer, some how it wasnt doing
the job. So, I switched to the food processor). Make sure its nice and smooth.
Its very important that the mixture is smooth and super fine. Keep it a
side.Now add the sugar and grind it to a fine powder. Now return the urad dal
mixture to the food processor and grind again. This helps the sugar and the
urad dal mixture to incorporate well. At this point you can also add some
crushed cardamom.Remove this mixture to a skillet; little by little add the
melted ghee till you get a consistency where you can mold them in the form of
laddoo.
