Maa Laadu | Fried Bengal Gram Laddoo
A smooth and nutty flavoured laddoo made with powdered pottukadalai, powdered sugar and ghee.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Bengal Fried Gram | Pottukadalai 180g
- ½-¾ cup Powdered Sugar 90g
- ½ cup Ghee melted
- ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
- 10-12 Cashew nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the powdered sugar if you do not have it. Melt the ghee and keep aside.
- Roast the pottu kadalai over a low flame for 1-2 minutes. This is done just to remove any moisture that the dal might have. It also helps with powdering the gram easily. Once done, allow it to cool down.
- Once cool, grind the fried Bengal gram to a smooth powder. Keep aside.
- Pound the cardamom pods to get 1/2 tsp of powder.
- In a small pan, roast the cashew nuts in a teaspoon of ghee until golden and crisp.
- To a big bowl, add the powdered pottu kadali, powdered sugar, cardamom powder and mix until combined well.
- Next, add the roasted cashew nuts and melted ghee to the bowl.
- With the use of your hands, mix all the ingredients well. Start rolling the laddoos with this mixture until all of it gets used up.
- Your Maa Laadus are ready!
