Laddu, doesn’t the word itself bring water in your mouth? May be/may not be, but I love it. Remember the vendor selling Laddu outside Ganesha temple? And I use to thought, how hard is it to make Laddu? Well, I know the answer now…it’s very-very simple.
Now I am not saying that making Laddu over gas/stove is an easy job! Try making it over gas if you want to make your dolley-sholey :-). BUT, it’s a 10 minute job if you have Microwave! Here is how:
Ingredients (for 7-8 small laddu):
7-8 tsp Besan (Gram Flour)
3-4 tsp Suji (Semolina)
3-4 tsp Ghee
Almonds (cut very thin lengthwise)
1 Bowl sugar powder or approx. 250 grams
Recipe:
In a bowl (which can be used in Microwave), mix Besan and Suji thoroughly.
Once they are properly mixed, add the Ghee and put the bowl in the Microwave. Set the microwave power to 5 (not more, not less…or the besan will burn) and let it go for 30 seconds (so that ghee will melt).
After 30 seconds, take out the bowl and mix the dough together using spoon. Make sure you mix the ghee very well. Set the timer to 1 minute and put the bowl back in the Microwave.
Repeat this process of mixing until the dough turn brownish-red and leaves the ghee. Now, take out the bowl and let it cool properly. Add almonds, dry fruits and powdered sugar to it and make them in round shape.
That’s it…you are all set.
