Wash the pan and again place it on stove, add grated coconut and saute them slightly, now add melted-strained jaggery to it, stir well, add ghee and stir well, add cardamom powder if required and stir well, now stir it vigorously, so that contents of the pan do not stick to walls of pan, stir till you find a lump like is formed, off the flame.
