Coming to the recipe–
I love making ladoo with lots of dried fruits and nuts and they taste just amazing in the cold winter days. I know it’s summertime in India but there is no harm in posting a recipe for winters, right?
So sometimes I would add the edible gum into the wheat and dried fruit ladoos and it makes them crunchy and tastier. In fact, the edible gum has it’s own health benefits too. So go ahead and try these laddo coming winters and enjoy the best of all healthy things in one ladoo.
Ingredients:
2 cups wheat flour
1 cup fine semolina
1/4 cup edible gum
1 cup dried fruits mixture (almonds, cashew nuts, raisins)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup coconut desiccated
1 cup jaggery, grated or broken
1 cup ghee
1 teaspoon cardamom powder
Method:
Melt the jaggery in 2 cups of water in a saucepan and set aside.
Roast the edible gum in a pan in ghee until they started popping. Remove and set aside.
Dry roast the dried fruits mixture and set aside.
Dry roast the coconut and sesame seeds and set aside.
Cool, all the roasted ingredients and pulse in the blender to make a coarse powder.
Heat ghee in a pan or wok and roast wheat flour and semolina on low heat until it turns light golden and a roasting smell comes out from it.
In a big mixing bowl add the roasted seeds powder, roasted flour mixture, and cardamom powder. Add the jaggery syrup and mix well until everything combines.
Add the remaining ghee if required and make small round balls of the mixture by pressing it in between palms.
Arrange them on a tray lined with parchment paper and let it set.
Store in airtight container. Stays well for a month or so.
