While growing up, this was one of the readily available snack at my place. These are easy to make and require just two main ingredients - Puffed rice and Jaggery.
Ingredients:
1 cup jaggery grated
approximately 3 cups of puffed rice
cardamom powder for flavor
2 tbsp peanut powder (optional)
Serving: makes around 25-30 medium sized balls
In a heated kadhai (pan), add grated jaggery. Stir it until jaggery melts completely. You can add cardamom powder and peanut powder once jaggery is melted. Turn off the heat and add puffed rice slowly. Add little puffed rice, stir it together and add some more. Adjust puffed rice portion until the jaggery syrup coats the rice well. Adding little by little quantity of puffed rice will help coat the puffed rice well with syrup.
Start rolling this mixture into balls (ladoo) while the syrup is warm. Make bite sized balls. If the mixture thickens up and you are unable to roll them into balls, warm the mixture on low flame for couple of minutes until the mixture is loosened and you are able to roll it again.
Store them into airtight container.
