• After few minutes just drop few drops of melted jaggery into water. Remove it from water and see if it has turn hard with your finger.
• You have to keep stirring the jaggery and in between keep checking by dropping few drops of melted jaggery in water. It took thrice for me to check the right consistency.
• Once you feel jaggery in water turns hard with help of your fingers, just put it in mouth and bite it. You will hear that perfect (kat) cracking sound which you get in chikki after biting from teeth.
