Cuisine Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup moong dal yellow
  • 1/2 cup jaggery grated
  • 3 tbsps ghee
  • 1/4 cup Cashew nuts roasted and broken
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • Wash dal in running water using a colander. Dry it on a cotton cloth or kitchen towel immediately till completely dry. I like to let it dry overnight as it is easier to roast when dry.
  • In a heavy bottom pan heat 2 tbsp of ghee and roast the dry at medium heat till it's browned and crunchy. Keep aside to cool.
  • After it is slightly cool, add the grated jaggery to it and mix well. Grind it to a fine powder when completely cool.
  • In a small pan, take the rest of the 1 tbsp ghee and roast the cashews and raisins. Add to the above mixture and shape them as ladoos.
  • Store at room temperature in air tight containers.
