About cornflakes ladoo recipe
This is a quick recipe to begin with first make jaggery syrup to strain impurities. Prepare jaggery syrup by combining jaggery with water and heating it until jaggery completely dissolves. Strain and add the syrup to the pan.Now keep cooking until hard ball consistency is reached. Once hard ball consistency is reached add cornflakes, cardamom powder and ghee. Switch off mix it well until fully coated. Remove from stove when its still warm shape them as ladoos.
Jaggery syrup consistency
The main important step is to get the jaggery syrup consistency perfect. Add very little water while making syrup otherwise you need to stir for a longer time. Keep a bowl ready with water, keep checking after jaggery syrup becomes thick. First the syrup will form a loose ball and will be sticky, next stage it will form a hard ball. This is the perfect consistency. If you pass on this stage it will be difficult to make balls.
Variations
- I crushed cornflakes slightly but you can add as such too.
- I used powdered jaggery you can use any variety. But make sure to strain the impurities before making ladoos.
- Adding cardamom powder gives a nice flavour, you can replace with vanilla essence too.
