  6. Thanks I just made some banana Filoz but had hard time breaking the Palm jaggery as it was hard like a rock, how did you manage?

    1. Hi Veronica
      Put jaggery in a cloth or bag and bang it with chapati roller or meat tenderizer / pounder … just bang till small pieces …
      But the Goan palm jaggery should is not so hard like rock …
