Ingredients:


- Sesame Seeds


- Peanuts


- Dry Coconut


- Jaggery


- Cardamom


Method:


- Dry Roast sesame seeds, peanuts, and coconut, one at a time. Grate the jaggery. I like to use a food processor for this but you can also grate it using a handheld grater.


- Grind the roasted ingredients along with jaggery and cardamom.


- Add ghee, grind again and then roll the laddo.


Storing, tips and substitutions


- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place at room temperature for up to 10 days.


- One at a time, dry roast the ingredients on low heat while stirring regularly. Let the roasted components cool before processing.


- Brown sesame seeds can be exchanged for white sesame seeds.


- Use a pestle and mortar to grate or mince the jaggery.


- For this dish, I like to use a food processor, but you could also use a powerful blender. Put everything in a food processor and pulse one to two ingredients at a time. Grind everything in batches.


- To help the sesame seeds and peanuts release their oils, which will help bond the ladoo, thoroughly massage the final mixture.
