Kaju Kishmis Muan

Description

For making the Muan, freshly popped ‘Khai’ is tipped into melted jaggery ( or sugar) that has been mixed with the spices. The garnishing bits at added at this stage. The still-warm mixture is either shaped into spheres or set into greased molds to give them a fancier shape. If the mixture is spread loosely instead of being molded, it is called Ukhuda or ‘paga khai’. This mixture resembles granola, both in appearance and taste, but is made with locally sourced ingredients.
