4. Heat oil in a pan,deep fry the gavvalu till they turn brown and crispy

5. In a seperate pan, add 1/2 cup water , broken cardamom,3 cubes of jaggery and let it boil to get bellam pakam/jaggery-syrup

6. To know wether u got proper consistency of the jaggery-syrup, take normal water in a cup and pour a drop of the syrup in to it. If u find the syrup getting solidified then it means that ur syrup is ready for preperation

7. Once it is done..drop all the gavvalu into it and stir well and switch off the stove and leave it for 30 min to get into room -temp. Then can serve
