0.33 tbsp Finely Chopped Almonds

Directions: Moong Dal Ladoo Recipe: A Simple Guide To Making A Gluten-Free Festive Sweet At Home

STEP 1.Rinse the yellow moong dal and then spread it on a clean kitchen towel. Let it dry thoroughly before roasting so that there is no excess moisture left behind.
STEP 2.In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the dry moong dal and roast it slowly on low flame. Keep stirring constantly so that the grains get cooked evenly without turning dark.
STEP 3.Continue roasting for about 12–15 minutes, until the dal begins to appear a bit golden and you get a distinct nutty fragrance. Proper roasting is essential for the flavour of the ladoos.
STEP 4.Turn off the flame and let the roasted dal cool down thoroughly. Transfer it to a mixer and then grind it to make a fine, slightly grainy powder. Avoid grinding it while still hot.
STEP 5.Sieve the ground dal if you like a smoother texture in the ladoos.
STEP 6.In a pan, heat ghee and add the ground moong dal powder, then roast it again for about 5 to 7 minutes, mixing constantly, until the mixture appears glossy and smells intensely nutty.
STEP 7.Remove the pan from the flame and let the mixture cool a bit until it is warm and not hot. Add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, chopped almonds, pistachios, cashews and raisins.
STEP 8.Mix everything nicely until the sugar gets mixed evenly. The mixture should hold together when it is pressed. If it feels too dry, add a little warm ghee.
STEP 9.Take a small portion of the mixture and then press it firmly between your palms. Roll it gently into a smooth, round ladoo.
STEP 10.Garnish each ladoo with a small piece of pistachio or almond, if preferred. Let them cool down thoroughly before storing them in an airtight box.
