Steps for preparation

  • Take bajra flour(1/2 cup) and jaggery (1/4 cup) in a bowl. Rub it with your fingers to break jaggery lumps and mix really well. It will take good 5-7 minutes. Be patients and make sure to rub really well, so there are no pieces of jaggery. If using powdered jaggery then skip this step.
  • Melt the ghee in a small saucepan or in the microwave. (1/2 tsp) Ghee should be warm to touch (not hot). Add into flour-jaggery mixture.
  • Again mix well with your fingertips. If it looks dry then add (½ tbsp)of ghee at a time, mix and see.
  • Continue ‘add ghee and mix process’ till all the mixture comes together. By looking at it, it looks crumbly. But when you press with your hand it will come together.
  • Now take some mixture in your hand, press it with your palm so it becomes firm and then shape into the ladoo by rotating it in your palm. Make walnut-sized balls out of it.
