Ingredients

  • Peanuts- 2 cups
  • Jaggery- 3/4 cup
  • Ghee- 3 tsp optional
  • Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
  • Cashews- Few

Instructions

Method

  • Dry roast peanuts in a heavy bottomed pan till you see dark brown spots on them. Peanuts just peel off when they are roasted right.
  • Switch off the flame and transfer the peanuts on to a wide plate. Let it cool. Once done, peel off the peanuts completely.
  • Add these peeled peanuts in to a mixer and pulse it 2 to 3 times to obtain coarse powder.
  • Include jaggery too and grind together so that jaggery blends well with powdered peanuts. You will get peanut-jaggery dough which is ready to roll in to balls.
  • Transfer the peanut laddu mix in to a wide bowl. Add ghee, cardamom powder and broken cashews.
  • Mix well. Take a handful of mix and shape in to laddu. Continue with rest of the laddu mix.
  • Peanut laddu is ready. Kids will enjoy this as a snack after school.

Note

  • The oil oozed out from peanuts is just sufficient to make balls. So ghee is optional. I have added it for nice fragrance.
  • Do not try grinding peanut and jaggery separately. If you try combining thus ground peanuts and jaggery, it will not form even dough.
  • These laddus can be stored for a fortnight under normal temperature.
