Stove top granola recipe a cereal made with oats,nuts and dry fruits.

Granola is a cereal made with oats, nuts and sweetner which can be mixed with milk and had for breakfast or even as a snack.Granola is usually baked but as many requested to post stove top version here is the recipe of stove top granola with jaggery as sweetner.

How to make granola without oven:

Granola is usually made by mixing all the ingredients and baked until crisp but alternatively we can make stove top version too.Just roast ingredients until slightly crisp and mixing with jaggery syrup(with perfect consistency).

What is Jaggery consistency?:

This jaggery consistency is the most important in stove top version as if the consistency is missed then you will not get crisp granola so keep checking until the perfect consistency is reached.Soft ball and cook for 2 mins further and you will get perfect crisp granola.If it reaches hard ball then it will become hard so I prefer between soft and hard ball.

• I used quick cooking oats but you can use rolled oats too but make sure to roast for few more mins as it takes time to cook.
• Jaggery can be replaced with palm jaggery or brown sugar too.I am not sure of cane sugar as I havent tried it.
• You can use raisins too but add it at the last stage if you are adding.
