Bajra ladoo

 Bajra ladoo

Ingredients needed

   Pearl Millet flour/Kambu flour – 1 1/2 cup

   Almonds  of very good quality and unadulterated– 15

   Dates – 25

   Jaggery – 1/4 cup powdered

   Sesame seeds – 3 tbsp

   Cardamom – 2-3 (powdered)

   Ghee/clarified butter – 4 tbsp melted

Method

Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a kadai, and roast pearl millet flour on medium heat until you get a nice aroma of roasted flour.

Once the flour is well roasted, switch off the heat and add jaggery powder.

Add coarsely ground almonds + cashew nut powder, cardamom powder and coarsely ground sesame seeds. Mix everything well and dry grind it with chopped dates.

Transfer to a wide vessel or plate. Add whole sesame seeds (remember we kept 1 tbsp sesame seeds aside) and mix it well.

As we have added dates, we do not need much ghee for making this laddu. I have used just 2 tbsp of warm melted ghee.

Mix warm ghee little at a time and make laddus batch by batch. Do not add all the ghee to the prepared bajra laddu mixture.
