Thengai pooranam is a mixture of coconut with the jaggery syrup. I learnt this from my paati (Dad’s mom). Amma and paati makes pooranam as a stuffing for modhagam. This is one of my favourite sweets (Of course whatever that is made with jaggery :P). I thought this is a very difficult recipe whenever my mom made this. But it is very easy and you can make it in no minutes. I posted this recipe long back and linking video to it.
