Ingredients

Instructions

  • Dry roast moong dal in low medium flame till it turns golden brown, Set aside to cool. In a dry mixer grind it a fine powder.
  • Grind sugar to a fine powder. Now sieve both powdered sugar and moong dal powder once at least to discard the grainy particles. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a pan add a teaspoon of ghee and fry the cashews till golden brown. Now heat up ghee just for 2 seconds. In a mixing bowl containing powdered items add ghee fried cashews, cardamom powder and finally add ghee little by little.

Notes

  • Roasting the dal – Roast moong dal slowly on low flame, keep stirring always. It should turn nice golden color and smell nutty, not burnt.
  • Powdering – I always sieve both powdered dal and sugar, this helps to remove grainy bits and gives smooth texture.
  • Adding ghee – Add warm ghee little by little, mix with spoon and then shape when warm. Adding all at once can make mixture oily.
  • Sweetness – If you like sweeter ladoos, you can use equal ratio of dal and sugar. The sweetness in this measure is mild and balanced.
  • Storage – Store in airtight box, it keeps good for more than two weeks. The flavor stays same if you keep it in cool place.
