Notes
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.
Roast the horse gram / Kollu until the colour changes slightly , if you taste the kollu it should be crispy ,this is the right stage to switch off.
