Method

  • Heat a pan adding roasted gram. Stirring constantly roast them till they warm up. Transfer to a plate and roast white sesame seeds and poppy seeds one after the other till they turn little brown.
  • Next grind the desiccated coconut coarsely. Empty it in a bowl. In the same mixer add roasted gram, sesame and poppy seeds. Grind them together to fine powder.
  • Take jaggery and ghee in a pan and heat it up. Add 2 tsp of water too. As the jaggery dissolves, put off the flame and include powdered gram, desiccated coconut and cardamom powder.
  • Combine everything well and shape a handful of mix as ladoo. Continue shaping ladoo with all the laddo mix.
  • This auspicious ladoo is ready to offer as naivedyam to Lord Krishna.

  • Jaggery just has to dissolve in ghee and water, consistency check is not necessary.
  • This ladoo keeps well for more than a week.
