Preparation Time: 40 Minutes

Serves: 20 count

INGREDIENTS


  • Karuppu Ulundhu / Whole black gram urad dal – ¾ cup

  • Roasted Gram Dal (Pottukadalai) – ¼ cup

  • Grated Jaggery – 1 cup

  • Cardamom - 3

  • Ghee – ½ cup

  • Cashews – 1 tbsp (optional)



STEPS

  1. First, we need to dry roast the black gram in medium flame till we get a nice aroma and the dal turns light brown

  2. Take the roasted black gram aside for cooling. In the same hot pan, just roast the roasted gram for a minute

  3. Take both the roasted Black gram and roasted gram along with cardamom in the mixer jar and grind it to a smooth powder

  4. In the same mixer jar add the grated jaggery and grind it again till the jaggery is fully incorporated. If we have a good quality Paagu Vellam, when we grind the jaggery with dal powder, the jaggery will release the juice and the mixture will be ready to make ladoos. But the jaggery which I used didn't release juice and so after grinding with jaggery and so I used ghee to bind the mixture and make ladoo. *If we have juicy jaggery then we need less ghee*

  5. Heat a teaspoon of ghee and add the cashews and fry the cashews in ghee till they are light brown.

  6. Add the ghee-fried cashews to the powdered ladoo mixture

Making Ladoo

  1. Heat ghee in a pan. Keep the flame very low so that the ghee remains hot till we make all ladoos out of the ladoo mixture

  2. Take one portion of the ladoo mixture. Add a ladle of ghee to the portion of the mixture. Mix well with a spoon

  3. Make small lemon sized balls out of the Ladoo mixture. Repeat the same steps for the rest of the ladoo mixture

  4. Healthy and delicious Black gram Jaggery Ladoo is now ready to serve!
