  2. When the mixture starts becoming syrupy, take a little bit of the syrup in a spoon and drop it in a bowl of water. Try gathering the mixture to form a ball. You should be able to form a nice firm ball. Once you reach this stage, remove the jaggery mixture from heat.

Repeat with the remaining mixture and make balls. Set aside on a plate to cool. Garnish with rose petals and serve or store in air tight container for a week.
