MUESLI വിളയച്ചത് ( Muesli cooked coconut-jaggery mixture)

Muesli is more prevalent in  Europe, and granola is in America. It's just my assumption. Anyway, I did search for the difference between muesli and granola, and this is what I understood. The main difference between muesli and granola is that while both are made of grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, muesli is unbaked, while granola is baked with a sweetener. Muesli is usually consumed with hot liquids or milk. 
My brother got a box of muesli from Dubai. My mother didn't know what to do with it. I suggested using the muesli and making something similar to avval vellayichathu. Voila! It turned out to be tasty. Well, it cannot be eaten as a healthy breakfast, though!. For us, muesli vellayichathu is a sweet dessert.

INGREDIENTS: I have yet to follow any exact measurements here. The amount of jaggery syrup depends on how sweet the end product should be.

1. Jaggery Syrup - make ahead(from 125 gms. of jaggery)
2. shredded coconut(1 cup, 80 gms.)
3. muesli - 3 cups
4. 1/4 tsp salt

METHOD

• Heat jaggery syrup in a wok. Bring it to a boil.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Add in the shredded coconut and salt. Stir and cook on high flame till the coconut is no longer wet.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Add in the muesli and stir well till the muesli is nicely coated with the coconut jaggery mixture. Let it cool and store it in an airtight container.
  
  
  
  

• I like to chop some ripe bananas along with it and have it as a dessert.
