Earlier I have posted many snack recipes, one of them is  Krishna Janmasthami Collection

Coming to the nutritional and health factors related to peanut, they are rich in energy and contain health benefit nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for good health. They compose of mono unsaturated fatty acids, which help lower bad cholestrol and increase the good cholesterol. They are a good source of protein, contain good amount of amino acid that is needed for growth and development. Jaggery is a good source of iron.

Peanut ladoo is an easy snack to make, it hardly requires fifteen minutes to make these.

Peanut Ladoo

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup peanut
  • 1 cup jaggery grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Method:
  1. Dry roast the peanuts on a  medium flame. Keep roasting until the skin crackles and they are golden in colour.
  2. Let cool. On cooling the peanuts turn crunchy.
  3. Remove the skin by rubbing with palm.
  4. Put it in a mixer jar and give a swirl.
  5. Add jaggery and cardamom powder to it and grind it again. It should be well moulded.
  6. Remove it in a bowl.
  7. Make balls of it. Peanut ladoos are ready.
  8. After sometime, store them in an air tight container. They stay well for 8-10 days.
Take a tip:
  • Use good quality jaggery, as you are not melting it here.
  • A spoon of ghee may be added while making the balls, I have not added.
  • Removing of skins is optional, many prepare with the skin.
  • If you want less sweet, reduce the amount of jaggery.

Shenga Undi is a much preferred sweet at our home, though my mom prepare with half peanuts. I am sure peanut powder adds an extra flavour to the laddo.

One of my favorite ladoos. What a coincidence, I also shared a similar recipe, I didn’t add cardamom powder in that, The nice touch of cardamom would enhance the flavor of ladoos even more. Next time, will include that also. Ladoos looks so yummy 🙂
