Makhana ladoo recipe a quick and healthy ladoo made with phool makhana,nuts and jaggery.Phool makhana ia great source of protein, carbohydrates etc so very good for growing kids.I always have a pack of makhana at home to make roasted makhana snack as and now when the kids demand for it.

Last time hubby bought extra 2 packs not knowing there was already a pack in pantry.So tried this phool makhana ladoo and it was a instant hit.As makhana is a bit bland added nuts which gave more flavour to the ladoo.

Notes

• Make sure you switch off exactly at thin single thread consistency else you will not able to make ladoos.The syrup will tend to harden if you pass that stage.
• Also when its still warm start shaping, do not cool down the mixture completely.
• You can add cardamom powder if you want for flavour.
• You can even reduce jaggery syrup and add raisins or dates to give natural sweetness.
