Green Moong Dal in the local languages

Ingredients

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.
