Black Urad Dal Ladoo/Karuppu Ullundhu Urundai is
a very tasty and healthy snack that can be made in no time with very less
ingredients. My grandma used to make it for me and my sister when we were small
and now I am making it for my girls. If you have girl child or women at home
this is one recipe that you must know to keep them hale and healthy. You must
ask me why? Here it is, Black urad dal is one of the richest sources of
proteins and Vitamin B which is essential for women. It is loaded with iron,
folic acid, calcium, magnesium and potassium which make this black urad dal a
perfect health package for pregnant women.
Another major ingredient in this
urundai is jaggery. Jaggery we all know has numerous health benefits, its
packed with iron and folate and prevents anaemia and boosts the hemoglobin
level, helps in joint pain, is a wonderful blood purifier, controls blood
pressure, prevents respiratory problems and is a wonderful alternative to white
sugar.
The third important ingredient is ghee. We all know ghee has incredible
health benefits and is one of the treasured food in ayurveda. Ghee plays a
vital role in balancing hormones and maintains a healthy cholesterol level. It
is loaded with plenty of omega 3 fatty acids along with Vitamin A. Ghee is a
good source of energy and one important thing to keep in mind is, it is a
source of good fat, great for your heart and skin. Meanwhile do check out other interesting Ladoo Varieties here & other Diwali Sweets & Snacks here.

Method
Black Urad Dal
Ingredients Needed
Melt the ghee, grate the jaggery and keep it ready.
Heat a kadai, add black urad dal/karuppu
ullundhu and dry roast well until nice aroma is released. You cannot see the
color change, but will surely smell the aroma, at that time switch off the
stove and transfer it to a plate.
Add fried and cardamom/elakkai to the same
kadai, give a good stir for just few seconds and transfer it to a plate.
Now add black urad dal/karuppu ullutham paruppu,
fried gram/pottukadalai, cardamom/elakkai and grind everything to fine powder.
Now add the jaggery, one small pinch salt and
give a quick blend. This will help the jaggery to mix well with urad dal
powder.
Transfer this mixture into a mixing bowl.
Add melted hot ghee to the urad dal mixture. Mix
it well with a spoon.
Pinch a small lemon sized portion and shape them
as ladoos. Repeat to finish the mixture.
Store it in a clean air tight container.

Suggestions:
When roasting the black urad dal/karuppu
ullundhu carefully and take care not to burn it.
You can add chopped and roasted cashew nuts
before making the ladoos/urundai.
Make sure you use good quality jaggery/vellam
which does not have any mud or dirt.
