Maa Ladoo Recipe
Maa Ladoo (Maa Laddu) also called as Pottukadalai urundai is a famous South Indian sweet which can made in a jiffy with just 5 ingredients.I am making this for the first time and let me tell you maa laddu is a very easy sweet recipe to make and as Roasted Gram is very healthy especially for kids you can try this quick easy laddo for diwali.
The recipe and method is more like rava laddu and I loved it so much. Hubby who is not fond of sweets too liked it very much as he asked for 2nd ladoo which is very rare in his case when it comes to sweets so I am hereby declaring it a great hit at home and I will be making it more often.

That is mittu posing for my click…this was basically her idea as she was and I loved it so much.!!  🙂 Her vacation has started and she is keeping me at her toes….ufff too tired running behind her and keeping her engaged but still enjoying every bit of the time with her!

Pottukadalai Urundai

My Notes:

  • This keeps well for atleast 2 weeks.
  • Dry roasting roasted gram is optional but gives a nice flavour to the ladoos.
  • Hot ghee is added so that shaping the ladoo is easy. Mix well with a laddle and touch it with your hands only when its warm.If you are making in bulk say more than 2 cups then you can add ghee little by little and form ladoos in portions. It is always easy to shape the ladoos when its warm, else it will tend to break so make the ladoos quickly.
  • When sugar is powdered it gives more quantity so if you are measuring powdered sugar then use 3/4 cup of powdered sugar.Though the orginal recipe called for 1(roasted gram):1(sugar) ratio I felt it too sweet so modified the measurements.
  • You can even add raisins along with cashews if you like.
