steps for Preparation

  • Dry roast the black gram in medium flame till we get a nice aroma and the dal turns light brown
  • Take the roasted black gram aside for cooling. In the same hot pan, just roast the roasted gram for a minute
  • Take both the roasted Black gram and roasted gram along with cardamom in the mixer jar and grind it to a smooth powder
  • In the same mixer jar add the grated jaggery and grind it again till the jaggery is fully incorporated. If we have a good quality Paagu Vellam, when we grind the jaggery with dal powder, the jaggery will release the juice and the mixture will be ready to make ladoos.
  • Heat a teaspoon of ghee and add the cashews and fry the cashews in ghee till they are light brown.
  • Add the ghee-fried cashews to the powdered ladoo mixture
  • Heat ghee in a pan. Keep the flame very low so that the ghee remains hot till we make all ladoos out of the ladoo mixture
  • Take one portion of the ladoo mixture. Add a ladle of ghee to the portion of the mixture. Mix well with a spoon
  • Make small lemon sized balls out of the Ladoo mixture. Repeat the same steps for the rest of the ladoo mixture
  • Healthy and delicious Black gram Jaggery.
  •  Ladoo is now ready to serve.
