Coconut N Jaggery Balls , Semolina & Oats Kheer

Special festive dishes goes to sweet and savoury dishes...We cant prepare daily sweet dishes either special savoury dishes at home thats why while making dishes during festive times i always prepare mostly delicious and new dishes, and this time Ganesh Chathurthi was on sunday so no need to say how i really felt happy to try out many dishes on this day,i started my chathurthi special dishes with coconut & jaggery balls as this balls are really very easily to prepare,this balls are traditionally prepared for making modaks at my mom's place and i changed this time to turn this modaks stuffing sweet coconut and jaggery mix as yummy ball, and rolled this balls over almond flakes...Now coming to semolina & oats kheer, i have already prepared halwas with oats and kheer with oats and mango, and this time i went for semolina (rava) and oats kheer..Another delicious kheer!!! Am sending this sweet coconut & jaggery balls and semolina & oats kheer to Purva's FF-Janmashtami & Ganesh Chathurthi and the semolia &oats kheer goes to Sanghi's FIL-Milk, again both dishes goes to Sara's Sweets & Savouries Event..


Coconut N Jaggery Balls:
1cup Jaggery
3/4cup Fresh grated coconut
1/2tsp Cardamom powder
