Homemade Narkol Naru (ঘরে বানানো নারকেল নাড়ু)
What is any puja at any Bengali home without NarkolNaru? White shredded coconut with the flavour of jaggery, cardamom, etc., rolled into small balls while still hot- this is what a Homemade NarkelNaru is. Making Naru requires expertise. The ingredients are simple, but the technique of rolling the balls and adding the items in proper proportion so the taste is perfect is a matter of practice and experience. You need to stir the mix of ingredients on heat continuously so they do not stick to the vessel. Doing Pronam to the elders during Bijoya Doshomi meant having a handful of Homemade Nimki, Goja, and a few Homemade Naru.
