Notes
- Cool down the mixture then add cane sugar. If you add sugar to hot mixture it will turn gooey. When its warm you can add it.
- You can add any sweetener of your choice - powdered white sugar or jaggery or cane sugar as I have done.
- You may not need 1/4 cup fully for shaping the laddus you can minus 1-2 tablespoon even then it will hold together and get shaped well but adding 1/4 cup gives great flavour to the ladoos.
