Sabudana Ladoo - an easy to make delightful sweet made with Tapioca Pearls! Navratri | Fast Special

This year one of the nine dyas of Navratri, the naivedhyam during the evening puja was Sabudana Ladoo. This has been in Amma's To Do List for quite some time but she never got around to make it.

Finally mission accomplished!

This is one of the easiest sweet that one can prepare...

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Sabudana | Sago | Tapioca Pearls, medium size
3/4 cup Sugar                 
1/4 cup Homemade Ghee | Clarified butter
1/2  tsp Elaichi | Cardamom Powder
1 tbsp  Chopped Nuts | Raisins

METHOD

• In a pan, heat  about 1/2 tsp of ghee from the 1/4th cup and roast dry fruits. Remove them on to a plate and keep aside.
• In the same pan, dry roast sabudana till the begin to let out a popping sound and change colour to white colour. Dry roast on a medium flame. Keep stirring continuously and take care sabudana does not get burnt. It will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer roasted sabudana to a plate and let it cool down a bit.
• Take this roasted sabudana in a mixie jar. Add sugar and elaichi powder. Grind this mixture to a fine powder.
• Remove this mix into a bowl. Add roasted dry fruits and mix well.
• In a small pan, heat ghee to make it lukewarm. 
• Add a tablespoon of ghee to a small portion of the powdered mix in the bowl. Gently mix the ghee along with this portion to make small lemon sized roundels. This quantity makes about 12 to 15 Sabudana Ladoos.
• Store in an air tight container and enjoy!
