Ingredients
- 1 cup Maida (refined flour)
- 1 tbsp Rice flour
- 1 tbsp Ghee
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp Cashews
- 1 tbsp Raisins
Instructions
- In a bowl, add refined flour, rice flour, salt and ghee. Give a mix. Add water little by little and knead stiff dough.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Make small balls and roll very thin chapati. Try to roll as thin as possible.
- Deep fry the pooris in hot oil in low flame. Fry little longer, so that it turns crisp. When all pooris are done, break them in to small pieces.
- Mean while roast cashews and raisins in little ghee and add to the powdered mix. Add cardamom powder too. Next, in a wide wok, add sugar and water. Let it cook in medium flame. When sugar dissolves and syrup turns in to one string consistency, switch off flame.
- Transfer the syrup to laddu mix little by little and combine well. Shape like laddu.
- Delicious mohan laddu is ready to serve.
Notes
- The pooris should turn crisp. So roll as thin as possible and deep fry them longer in low flame.
- You can break the pooris with your hand or run in mixer for evenly breaking.
- If sugar syrup doesn't turn in to one string consistency, then you cannot shape laddus. So ensure it.
- Add sugar syrup in steps and mix.
