Melt together gur and water and make it into a syrup. Cook till it froths up and comes to crackling stage. To check the same, drop a little melted jaggery in a bowl of water. Collect the jaggery and make a ball off it and press it between your finger. If it is getting hard and on dropping it make a loud pop noise then it is ready for the next step.
