Maa Ladoo with Ghee |
As Diwali is around the corner, I thought that I will post some Indian dessert recipes. Roasted gram ladoo or Maa ladoo / udahcha kadalai Ladoo is a easy to make recipe. It could be made with in 15 minutes. I did try making this ladoo with and without ghee.
Maa Ladoo without Ghee |
Ingredients :
Roasted gram – 1 cup
Sugar – 1/2cup
Ghee – 1/4 cup ( If you are on diet replace ghee with oil )
Cardamom pod – 2
Cashew broken – 1 Tbsp
Method :
1. Add the roasted gram ( pottu kadalai ) in the mixie, grind it in to a smooth powder. Then add cardamom pods, grind it and transfer it in to a bowl.
2., Grind sugar in to fine powder, add it to the bowl and mix well. Heat Ghee in a pan add broken cashew to it.
3. Once the cashew turns golden brown in color, add the powders give it a quick stir and switch off the gas. Transfer it to mixing bowl and mix it with a spatula.
4. Once the heat is bearable shape them in to round ladoos.
Diet Version : For diet version of maladu replace ghee with oil. Grease your hands with ghee before rolling the ladoo to get the dash of flavour without adding on calories.
Notes :
- Dry roast roasted gram for 2 minutes for added flavor.
- You can add raisins if you like.
- Store it in a airtight container, it will last for more than 10 days.
- If you want less or more sweet adjust the sugar quantity.
