MOONG DAAL LADDU

Laddus are a good, especially if they are packed with nutrition of almonds and moong daal. I am not too very fond of Indian sweets, but I really loved this laddu my MIL made. I am sharing the recipe with all of you, that's because I have such a biiiiiiig heart!!! No, No just kidding, its because I love you all so much.



Ing -
250 gms - moong daal atta
4 tbspn - ghee
200 gms - powdered sugar
5/6 cardamoms - powdered
1/2 cup - coarsely crushed almonds

Method -
Fry the atta in the ghee till it turns golden brown in colour. Keep stirring in between.
Close the flame & add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder & almonds
Now let the mixture cool just enough that you can bind them into laddus.

There you are - yummy laddus are ready to be gobbled up!!!

UPDATE ON MOONG DAAL LADDUS - 15TH NOV' 07

Sorry Girls - my fault. Even though I did make MIL tell me how to make Moong Daal Atta, I forgot to post the same. My apologies.......here it goes

Take about 1/2 kg split green moong (when I go home I shall be posting a pic of that daal too, so that there is no confusion at all). Dry roast it in a kadai, stirring continuously, for about 10 minutes.
Let it cool & then grind it into a fine powder in the grinder.
Seive & use it as atta!!

You definitely have a large heart to admit your small mistake openly dear! :) I too make same proportions as your MIL! May be we should try with raw moong dal sometime! :)Enjoy your laddoos.

Looks good. I don't think I've eaten one of these before.

Shella said...

Latha - we all learn from our mistakes - dont we?? hmmm raw moong daal, should try it sometimes. If you make this version, try raw moong daal, n let me know how it came out.

TBC - it was the first time for me too, but I really loved it. It had a very crunchy texture coz of the crushed badaam
