Peanut ladoo is made with peanuts and jaggery as main ingredients.It is very easy to make, tastes delicious and healthy too.This can be packed for kids snackbox too. As its soft and has a melt in the mouth texture all will like it especially kids. I love anything made with peanuts so kadalai urundai and this peanut ladoo are my favorite.
Generally we make peanut ladoo by making syrup but this is a easy version. I have already posted kadalai mittai with jaggery syrup but this recipe is very simple and easy with no consistency checks. Just powder peanuts along with jaggery and shape them into balls, the only tedious task here is to remove the skin of peanuts. I have given a easy way to remove the ski. We call it as groundnut ladoo too.
