Pottukadalai/Roasted
gram ladoo is a very delicious traditional South Indian sweets that can be made
very quickly. It needs exactly 5 ingredients and can be made within 15 min and
a perfect kids delight. I do make this ladoo on Janmashtami days and when I am
really lazy to make any other sweets for my kids.
Here’s
Pottukadali Urundai/Roasted Gram Ladoo with step by step photos…
Ingredients
Pottukadalai/Roasted gram
|
1 cup
|
Sugar
|
½ cup
|
Ghee
|
4 – 5 tbsp
|
Cardamom/Elachi
|
3
|
Cashew nuts
|
4 -5 finely chopped
|
- The above measurement make 15 -16 small ladoos.
- The shelf life of these ladoos is about 10 days.
Grind
the roasted gram/pottukadalai in to fine powder in a mixer, sieve it and transfer
it in to a bowl.
Grind
the sugar & cardamom together in to fine powder in a mixer and add it to
the powdered roasted gram bowl.
Heat 2
tsp of ghee and roast the cashew nuts and add it to the already ground powder.
Heat
the ghee and keep it warm until you make the ladoos.
Mix the
roasted gram flour, powdered sugar and cashew nuts well. Now slowly add the warm
ghee and mix thoroughly and start making small balls. [Keep adding ghee and
mixing it until you are able to make the balls]
Make
the balls when it is warm enough. Delicious pottukadalai ladoos are ready to be
enjoyed.
Store
the ladoos in an airtight container and enjoy it later.
Suggestions:
Make
sure the ghee is not very hot (so that u won’t burn your hands) or cold. It has
to be hot enough to make the balls.
You can
as well use milk and reduce the amount of ghee, if you are using milk just
consume the ladoos in 2 – 3 days.
Use
only ghee, do not use dalda or oil. It will not taste good.

you all for visiting my blog, please come back again for more traditional South
Indian sweets.

ReplyDeleteநீங்கள் காட்டியுள்ளது பொட்டுக்கடலைப்பொடி உருண்டை. இதை பாசிப்பருப்புப் பொடியிலும் செய்வார்கள். அதற்கு லாட்டு உருண்டை என்று பெயர்.
ReplyDeleteபொட்டுக்கடலை உருண்டை என்றும் ஒன்று உள்ளது. நிலக்கடலை உருண்டை போல, முழுசு முழுசாக பொட்டுக்கடலை / நிலக்கடலைகள் கண்ணுக்குத்தெரியும் படி வெல்லப்பாகில் போட்டு உருட்டி வைப்பார்கள்.
இனிமையான பகிர்வுக்கு நன்றிகள். பாராட்டுக்கள்.
