Jaggery- 4/5 tsp

Salt as per taste.

Method:

In a heavy bottom pan heat oil.

To the hot oil, add whole cranberries and cook for 8-10 minutes or until they are soft and mushy.

To this add turmeric and dry roasted ground powder and continue to cook. Keep stirring it often, so the bottom doesn’t burn.

If the mixture thickens, add little water to allow it to cook further and let all the ingredients combine well which may take 6-8 more minutes. 

Finally add jaggery, salt and asafoetida and let it simmer for few more minutes, oil starts to separate from sides, thokku is ready.
