Ingredients For Moong dal Ladoo

• Moong dal washed (dhuli), 1 cup
• Sugar, 3/4 cup or to taste, powdered
• Cardamom, freshly powdered, 1/8 tsp
• Ghee, 10 tsp (or refined oil)
• Almonds flakes (skin removed), about 10-15 (or cashews pieces)

Preparation of Mung Dal Ladoo

1. Dry roast moong dal on midium heat until it turns brown color. At this point your kitchen will be filled with the aroma. Remove from heat and keep aside to cool.
2. Grind moong dal to a fine powder.
3. Mix almond flakes (or cashews pieces) and cardamom powder.
4. Heat ghee in a skillet to melt it. Add dal mixture and stir well to combine.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool. When the mixture is at room temperature, mix sugar well. Make balls of about 1'' size. Do not add sugar when the dal mixture is hot. Sugar will melt and you will not get round ladoos.

Note: You can add more ghee if the balls are not formed. Do not add sugar when the dal mixture is hot. Sugar will melt and you will not get round shaped ladoos.
Replace ghee with 1/3rd ghee, 1/3rd canola oil and 1/3rd low saturated fat butter to make the recipe healthy.
