1. Roast all nuts for few sec. and grind in to a coarse powder(if any big pieces are left while grinding leave them like that only) and leave a side.
2. In a heavy bottom pan combine sugar, jaggery, water and boil till jagger and sugar dissolves in to water.
3. Now remove from the heat and strain this syrup in to another heavy bottom pan (this processes is to remove any stones or and dirt from the jaggery and sugar).
4. Now bring back this syrup to the heat and bring to a full boil now you can see lot of bubbling and rising to the surface stir continually and cook till when you drop a bit of this syrup in to cold water it will solidify like a ball.
