✅ How to make delicious Chocolate Mung Kavum
1️⃣ Step 1: Prepare the honey and chocolate mixture
- First, put a pot on the stove and add the honey and heat it slightly.
- When the honey is hot, add the cocoa powder and stir well so that there are no lumps.
- Then add the cloves, cardamom, and salt and remove from the stove.
2️⃣ Step 2: Mixing flour precisely
- In a large bowl, mix the roasted green gram flour and rice flour.
- Now add the prepared chocolate-mixed honey a little at a time and knead well with a wooden spoon.
- This should be kneaded until it becomes a dough that does not stick to your hands.
3️⃣ Step 3: Making a ball of dough
- Now place the dough we have prepared on a board and roll it out to a thickness (1 cm).
- Now cut it into the traditional diamond shape (Rhombus).
4️⃣ Step 4: Making the butter
- Prepare the batter and fry by mixing the rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric and salt to make a thick batter.
- Dip the cut pieces of sweet potato in this batter and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown (the chocolate will make it a little darker).
✅ Tips for successful preparation Chocolate Mung Kavum
- 🔰 Honey: Do not heat the honey too much and take it to the “stringy state”. Then the kavum dough may become hard. Remove from the stove when it thickens a little.
- 🔰 Flour frying: The green gram flour and rice flour should be fried very well. Then the taste and aroma of the kavum will increase.
- 🔰 Chocolate flavor: If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, you can melt a piece of “Dark Chocolate” while heating the honey.
- 🔰 Turning off: Turning the mixture off slightly before cutting the kavum pieces can control breakage.
- 🔰 These chocolate green kavum give a new look to the traditional taste and are a great treat during tea time.
