Jowar Laddu has been in my to-do list ever since last summer. When I had been to India on a vacation last summer, I heard this from a distant relative and was intrigued. I could not get the exact recipe from her. So this is an extension of the idea I got from her. I was worried if the flour would smell or get sticky etc. But my fears were baseless! These laddus disappeared in a matter of minutes. My neighbors were amazed by the taste and gobbled them up. Most importantly, the kids loved these and polished them off which is rare !
So this week of blogging marathon ends with these Laddus and watch out for some regional specials the next week.
Ingredients -
Jowar Flour / Jonna pindi a little less than 3/4 cup
Sooji / Bombay Rava / Semolina 3 Tbsp
Dry Coconut Powder 3 Tbsp
Sugar, Powdered 3/4 cup
Almonds, Powdered 4 Tbsp
Cashews and Raisins handful each
Cardamom Powder 1/8 tsp
Ghee 1 Tbsp
Milk upto 1/4 cup
Method Of Preparation -
In a sauce pan, heat ghee and saute cashews and raisins.
After the cashews are golden brown and the raisins are plump, add sooji and jowar flour and continue stirring until the flour gets a golden brown hue. (About 5 min)
Remove from fire and add coconut powder and stir in the flour.
While the flour is still hot, add the powdered sugar and powdered almonds, cardamom powder and mix well.
Let the mixture cool down a little. When the flour is safe to handle with your hands, sprinkle milk gradually and make laddus of desired size.
I didn't have to bother to store them as they vanished in minutes. But since there is milk in it, these are better consumed in a day or two or refrigerated.
If you have missed any of the desserts I posted during this marathon, here they are --
Day 6 Moong Dal-Pumpkin Kheer
