- I liked my ladoo to be coarse and hence I grounded the jaggery and kollu together.
- If you prefer a smooth ladoo. Grind the kollu separately into a fine powder and then add in the jaggery and cardamom pods and grind.
- The moisture from the jaggery is enough to shape the ladoo and hence no need to add more ghee.
- You can also add raisins or any other dry fruits to the ladoo.
- Keeps well for 2 weeks. Store in an air tight container.

Recently I have started cooking dishes with horse gram. This seems like a good one to try. BTW, does the strong flavor of horse gram go away once you roast them here?
