Steps

1

Wash the rice and dry it well. Roast it on a hot tawa on a slow flame till the grains fluff up a bit - this takes about 10mins.
2

Powder the rice along with the cardamom to an almost fine texture, like a fine sand.
3

Pound the jaggery to remove lumps or use the dry jar of mixer grinder - you can grind the jaggery & coconut together to achieve a coarse consistency.
4

Mix the jaggery and the coconut mixture with the rice powder.
5

Take a banana leaf like a size of a ribbon and place it inside a small bowl and put a handful of the mixture inside it like that of the picture. Compress it.
6

Hold the banana leaf from both sides and pull it out. You will get a good shape of it.
7

Repeat it with the left mixture. Your kakker is ready.
