  • Urad Dal Ladoo

INGREDIENTS:

Urad Dal Black 1 ½ Cup  

Jaggery grated (Gur) 1 ½ Cup

Ghee, warm and melted, adjust as needed ½ to ¾ cup

Dry Nuts ½ Cup 

Toasted Sesame seed 2 tbsp

Salt, a pinch </p

Instructions: 

Wash the dal, and let it dry on a kitchen towel. Dry roast the urad dal on medium to medium-low flame until you get a nice aroma and it becomes golden.

Keep stirring it continuously to ensure it gets roasted evenly and does not burn from the bottom. Switch off the flame. Let this cool off completely.

Grind the lentils into a coarse or fine powder, depending on if you like it crunchy or smooth. Transfer this to a bowl.

Grind dry nuts, toasted sesame seeds, powdered jaggery, and a pinch of salt in a blender, transfer it to the bowl of powdered dal and mix well.

Now add melted ghee (should be lukewarm) to the mixture little by little. Take a portion of this mixture and roll it into small balls. Transfer them to an air-tight container.

Serve and enjoy.
