Delicious Proteim-Rich Laddoos made from black gram, ghee, nuts and cardamom.
Course Dessert
Cuisine Indian
- 2 Cups Urad Dal (without skin)
- ¾ Cup Ghee
- 2 Cups Jaggery Powder
- 10 Cardamom Pods
- 10-12 Cashews
- 15-20 Almonds
- 10-12 Pistachios
Dry roast the lentils on medium heat for 10-12 minutes until they brown slightly and release a nice aroma. Once done, remove them. While they are still hot, grind them into a fine powder.
Take out the seeds from the cardamom pods and grind them into a powder along with the nuts.
Mix the hot lentil powder with the nuts and cardamom powder. Then add the Jaggery and ghee and combine well.
Before the mixture cools down completely, start binding it into small balls. I made lemon-sized balls.
These laddoos can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 10-15 days, away from sunlight.
