We telephone outcry upward it the string test. Take a drib of boiling jaggery too drib it inwards a drinking glass of water. If the jaggery maintains its company solid soil too remains stringy it is the correct consistency. If it sinks too dissolves inwards water, so you lot remove to boil it roughly to a greater extent than until you lot attain the stringy consistency.
