RaMaa Ladoo

With the conscious decision to eat healthy, sweets are a rarity as any craving for sweet is being satiated by natural sources - FRUITS!

But sometimes you just have to have a SWEET! And its been quite some time since Appa and I have been pestering Amma to put our cravings to rest. As this Friday Puja Prasadam it was a welcome surprise that we could enjoy the delicious RaMaa Ladoos.

RaMaa Ladoo is a twist from the traditional Maa Ladoo - a twist that we cherish!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Pottukadalai | Chutney Dal | Fried Chana Dal      
1/2 cup Rava | Semolina

1 cup Sugar                        
1/2 cup Homemade Ghee | Clarified butter

1/2  tsp Elaichi | Cardamom Powder  
1 tbsp  Chopped Nuts | Raisins

METHOD

• In a pan roast the fried chana dal and rava for about 5 minutes till an aromatic smell wafts across. Take care that the mix does not get burnt. 
• Take this mix in a mixie jar. Add the sugar. Grind this mixture till the sugar grains are powdered well.
• Remove this mix into a bowl. Add the elaichi powder along with the choice of chopped nuts - almonds, cashews, raisins and mix this well. This time though Amma has made them sans the nuts and just sprinkled the raisins on the top!
• In a small pan, heat the ghee to make it warm. 
• Add a tablespoon of the ghee to a small portion of the powdered mix in the bowl. Gently mix the ghee along with this portion to make lemon sized roundels. This quantity makes about 15 RaMaa Ladoos.
• Store in an air tight container and enjoy these for about a month!

This is very easy to make. This can be made for any Puja as  Prasadam, during festivals...or JLT :)
