Almond Ladoo

Delicious and healthy almond ladoo made of very minimal ingredients - Almonds,raisins,jaggery and cardamom.


Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 10 no.s of ladoos

INGREDIENTS:

Almonds - 1 cup
Raisins - 2 tablespoon
Jaggery - 1/3 cup
Cardamom - 3 no.s( Skin removed and seeds kept)
Ghee - 2 teaspoon(Optional)

METHOD:

1. In a large pan, dry roast almonds in low to medium flame for about 5 minutes. Please be careful  and do not burn the almonds. After 5 minutes, if you taste the almonds , it will be crunchy and also you can see some dark spots on the almonds.


2. Now add raisins, and dry roast just for 1 or 2 minutes and switch off the stove. Allow the almonds and raisins to cool completely.


3. Now take 1/3 cup of grated jaggery. Also take 3 cardamom .Remove the skin and keep the seeds.


4. Now take almond raisins mixture. Grind them along with cardamom seeds. Remember to grind it  in batches and not altogether at a time. When you grind it, almonds let out some oil , and mixture starts to turn sticky. When you try to hold it in to a ladoo shape , it comes well.



5. Now add the grated jaggery and grind well. Now take the mixture in a bowl.Add 2 teaspoon of ghee.Grease your hand with few drops ghee, and take some mixture and hold it together and make ladoos. It is not a must to add ghee. I added to give a glossy effect to the ladoo and easy to make it in a round shape.


6. Almond ladoos are ready. Store in an airtight container. Refrigerate after 1 day. It can stay good for 2 to 3 days.
