Sonali Shenoy

Jaggery Laddoos
 

Ingredients
 24 Mantra Organic Whole wheat flour – 1 cup
 Jaggery Powder – 1/2 cup
 Mixed nuts – 1/2 cup, coarsely chopped
 Melted ghee – 1/2 cup
 Ground cardamom – 1/4 teaspoon

Method:
 First, place a wok on medium flame and pour the whole wheat flour into it. Dry roast it for about 6 minutes.
 Next, add the ghee and mix well with the flour and keep stirring the mixture for 3-4 minutes.
 When done, transfer the mixture into a plate and mix the chopped nuts followed by Jaggery and cardamom powder.
 Mix everything well and divide the dough into small balls and roll them.
 You can serve them immediately or keep them in an air-tight jar.

Peanut and Gud Ke Laddoo

Ingredients:
 Organic Peanuts – 160 gm or 1 cup
 Organic Jaggery – 1/3 cup (either grated or powdered)

Method:
 Place a wok or large pan on high flame and as soon as it is hot, reduce the flame to medium and pour the raw peanuts.
 Roast them for a few minutes so that the peanuts become crunchy and change colour a bit. Pay proper attention so that the rawness of the nuts go away completely, yet they do not get burned.
 It is better to taste a peanut after roasting for a few minutes to make sure they are neither raw nor hard.
 When done, switch off the flame and let them cool down.
 After that, remove the skin of the peanuts by rubbing them within your hands.
 Take a grinder and transfer all the peeled nuts into it along with the grated or powdered organic jaggery.
 Keep grinding the mixture till you see a bit of the peanuts start to leave oil. Also, keep checking the texture by taking it into your hand.
 If the mixture is crumbly, you have to grind more. Once it starts to form a shape, you can stop the grinder.
 Now transfer the mixture onto a plate and form laddoos. With this mixture, you can easily form about 12 laddoos. But if the laddoos are bigger, then the
number will be less.
 Keep them in an air-tight jar and continue to savour the yummy gud ke laddu.
