Instructions
  1. Grind the chana to a smooth powder.
  2. Turn the stove on to medium heat and ghee.
  3. Add the chana powder and begin to roast the powder until it becomes light golden brown in color. Stir the mixture continuously with a spatula to prevent burning. Cooking on high heat will not allow the mixture to cook evenly.
  4. When the color has changed slightly and you will also start to smell the sweetness of roasted Chana powder, add sooji . Continue to roast for another 10 minutes on low to medium heat, till the chana powder is completely golden brown in color.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to a warm temperature. Add cardamom powder and mix it.
  6. Don’t let it become to room temperature. It needs to be warm enough for you to handle, if it cools down completely, you won’t be able to make Laddus.
  7. While the mixture is warm add mix almonds, and sugar.
  8. Crush the pistachios to a coarse powder.
  9. To make the laddus, take about 2 tablespoons of warm mixture into your palm. Gently press the mixture between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. The laddus are usually about the size of a ping-pong ball, but you can adjust the as you prefer.
  10. When you have finished making all of the laddus, take one laddu at a time and dip the tip of the laddu, around a quarter inch into melted ghee. Then lightly touch the part of the laddu with the ghee into the crushed pistachios, just enough so some pistachios stick to the laddu. 8. Put ladoos back on the plate with the pistachio side facing the top. 9. Leave the ladoos on a plate to cool to room temperature before putting into a covered container. The ladoos can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks. ENJOY!!!
