INGREDIENTS :

1 Cup Peanuts

1 Cup Grated Jaggery[ adjust as per your liking and taste]

 A pinch of Cardamom Powder

 METHOD :

STEP 1 - Heat a pan on low flame and add peanuts.

STEP 2 - Roast them on a low flame, till they are evenly browned, keeping the flame low throughout.

STEP 3 - Switch off the flame and let the peanuts cool down.

STEP 4 - In the meanwhile grate jaggery . I use organic jaggery, its dark brown in colour.

STEP 5 -  Add cooled peanuts in mixer jar and grind the peanuts coarsely.

STEP 6 - For 1 cup of ground peanuts, you can take 3/4th cup of grated jaggery.

STEP 7 – Add jaggery in mixer jar and blend on pulse mode. We just want to combine jaggery with peanuts so be careful and do not blend for longtime. 

STEP 7 - Once they are mixed well, transfer to a mixing bowl and add cardamom powder and mix them together.

STEP 8 - Take a small portion and start rolling and shaping round ladoo.

STEP 9 - Repeat the same with the rest of the mixture and make more laddoos.

Laddoos are ready to serve. These can be stored for about 10 days.

NOTES - * I never remove the skin from the peanuts.

             *The oil ozed out from peanuts is just sufficient to make the laddoos.

             *Do not grind peanuts and jaggery separately and then mix it, it will not form a dough.

              *Laddoos can be stored in an air tight container for about 15 days.

              *Jaggery quantity can be adjusted as per your palate taste. ¾ cup to 1 cup is sufficient.

              *If in the end you are not able to roll the laddoos, then heat up the mixture for a minute, jaggery will melt and then you can make balls.

* Alternatively, you can add 1-2 tablespoon ghee in the mixture, mix well and then make ladoos.

              *If you don’t want the skin, then just rub the peanuts with your hands and blow away the skin. This is the easy way to remove the skin.
