There was a packet of yellow moong dal powder sitting in my kitchen shelf for some time. I had bought it to make dhirde or ghavan (instant flat bread). I wanted to make something sweet today, so I decided to make moong dal ladoos.
Ingredients:
2 cups of yellow moong dal powder
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
3/4 cup of melted ghee (approximately)
20-25 raisins for garnish
10-12 roasted cashew nuts for garnish (cut in half lengthwise)
cardamom powder
Serves:
25 medium sized ladoos
First you will need to roast the moong dal powder in ghee. For this step, heat ghee in a kadhai. Add dal powder once the ghee is hot. Mix it well and stir continuously to avoid burning. Initially, the powder will absorb all the ghee and mixture will turn lumpy and dry. Keep the gas stove on simmer throughout roasting process. After about 20-25 minutes, the color of the mixture changes from yellow to brown and the kitchen is filled with a nice aroma of roasted dal powder. Turn the stove off and sprinkle some milk on the mixture and give it a good stir. Let it rest for sometime. Once the mixture is cooled, add powdered sugar, cardamom powder, raisins and cashew nuts and mix well with hands. Now roll medium sized ladoos of this mixture.
