Chana Laddu is made using roasted chana (whole black chickpea), sugar (or jaggery), almonds, cashews, cardamom powder, and ghee. The ghee binds the laddu's ingredients together.
STEP 1.Grind the roasted chana into a fine powder. Chop the almonds, pistachios and set aside. In a pan, heat ghee, to which the chana powder must be added and roasted for a minute. Now put in the dry fruits and mix for 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Transfer the mixture into a bowl.
STEP 2.Heat some more ghee in a pan. Add jaggery (and some saffron strands for colour, if you prefer) and let it melt. Do not overcook. Add the chana and dry fruit mix to this. Take the pan off the heat and mix contents well. Add cardamom powder and mix once more.
STEP 3.Grease your palms with a little ghee and take small lemon-sized portions of the mixture. Press into a laddu shape. Once all of the laddus are ready, let them rest in a dish for about 30 mins. Garnish with saffron or dry fruits as per your taste. The Chana Laddu is ready!
