Indian sweet Laddu

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   First, place a large frying pan over medium heat and wait for it to heat up. Pour chickpea flour into it and start stirring. Heat the chickpea flour for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until a distinct nutty smell appears. Now reduce the heat and add Ghee to the flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add coconut and nutmeg to the Laddu. If you have whole nutmeg, simply grate it on a fine grater. Mix thoroughly, as you noticed, you need to stir constantly so that the Indian sweets Ladu do not have a burnt taste. Roasted hazelnuts or any other nuts should be crushed (this can be done by covering them with a napkin and tapping them with the bottom of a glass) and put into the melted mass, then stir thoroughly again.

3. STEP 3

   

   Continuing to stir the Laddu, fry it over low heat for another 10 minutes: all the flavors should combine together. Remove the Indian sweet from the heat, add powdered sugar, mix everything again until completely dissolved, transfer to a plate and leave to cool for a couple of hours. The mixture should be cold so that you don't burn your hands when making the balls and so that the chickpea balls hold their shape and don't spread across the plate.

4. STEP 4

   

   We wet our hands with water, take a tablespoon of the mixture for Ladoo, put it in our palm and begin to roll the chickpea ball. Place the finished sweet on a plate and repeat the process. If desired, you can roll Indian sweets Ladoo in coconut flakes, crushed nuts or sesame seeds. To do this, pour the selected ingredient into plates and roll the finished sweet ball in it. Before use, you can put them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to make them firmer.
