    Green Gram Ladoo

    A healthy 3 ingredient Instant Laddu recipe (sweet balls) with Green Lentils. They are vegan (plant based) and dairy free. If you do not want to add nuts you can skip them. Or, you may add toasted nuts and add them before you shape the ladoo. They are guilt free and perfect for any festival. I always make them as an after school snack for the kids. They are filling and protein rich too.

    Ingredients for Green Gram Ladoo

    Green Gram - We dry roast the green gram and blend it to a fine powder and then shape the ladoos.
    Jaggery - Jaggery is the main sweetened for the ladoos. I usually use organic jaggery they do not have any dirt particles. We can use it without straining the dust particles. If using Normal Jaggery once the jaggery melts completely sieve and remove the impurities and then continue cooking till the bubbles.
    Water - This helps in binding the melted jaggery and the green gram powder.
    Cardamom - We use cardamom pods for flavor. We can dry roast them along with the green gram and add. or if using cardamom powder we can add directly while shaping the ladoos.

    FAQ's

    What if my ladoos do not hold shape?
    If the green gram flour is not hot you may not be able to shape the ladoos. YOu can heat it for a minute and then shape the ladoos. Or you can also add more hot Jaggery syrup and then shape the ladoos.
    Can I use ghee in the laddu?
    If you prefer you can definitely use it. Melt ghee and you can also roast cashew nuts and add to the ladoos.

      This is one of my favorite laddus. I make it with moong dal though. But if I recall, my grandma use to make it with the skin on moong dal.

      I have never ever attempted to make ladoo from any dal but I guess there are many version of dal ladoo in South India. The green gram ladoo sounds inviting.
