Notes

  • You can use store bought roasted peanuts to reduce kitchen time.
  • It's not necessary to check the consistency of jaggery syrup. When jaggery dissolves in water and starts bubbling, it's done.
  • Applying little ghee to your palm helps to shape the laddus.
  • You can add cashews and raisins also which I have skipped.
  • Though fresh coconut is used, the laddu stays good for 2 weeks.
