Thinai Ladoo is a simple and nutritious sweet made with thinai millet, ghee and honey. It is a good alternate for regular ladoo. The millet is roasted, then grind to a powder and mixed with honey and ghee to form a soft dough. This dough is shaped into small round ladoos which tastes mildly sweet and nutty.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Measure thinai, rinse it well, drain water.
  • Then let it dry for 30-45 mins. Do not sun dry it, just dry in room itself.
  • Dry roast thinai until nice aroma comes, the color will change slightly. and you see it turning crisp. Switch off and cool down for few mins.
  • Transfer to mixie jar and grind it to a fine powder. Let the flour cool for sometime. In a mixing bowl take this flour.
  • Add honey.
  • Add cardamom powder and melted ghee.
  • Mix well then start shaping the laddus. Repeat to finish off the dough. Enjoy Thinai Ladoo!

Notes

  • Dry millets well – After rinsing the millets I usually dry it for some time in room. If moisture remains it can affect roasting little.
  • Roast properly – I roast the millet until nice aroma comes and it turns slightly crisp. This step gives good flavour to ladoos.
  • Grinding – I grind millet into fine powder so ladoos become smooth while eating.
  • Cooling – I always let the flour cool little before adding honey and ghee, this helps mixture mix better and easy to shape.
  • Shaping – I press the mixture gently into balls, so they hold nicely and does not crumble.
