Ingredients:
2 cups fried dal
1 1/2 cups grated jaggery
1 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp ghee
Roasted nuts and raisins.
Method:
Powder the fried dal. Heat ghee, add grated jaggery and just about 2-3 tsp water to it. When it melts, immediately add the cardamom powder and fried dal powder. Add nuts, raisins and switch off the stove. Mix well and make ladoos.
Fried/roasted dal (pottukadalai/chutney dal) has a high protein content and jaggery also has proteins.
Ingredients:
1 cup grated coconut (can use dry coconut pd also)
1/2 cup milk powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
2 tsp ghee.
Method:
Heat the sugar with little water till it starts boiling. Add the coconut, milk powder and mix well till it becomes one big lump.
Cool for 10 minutes and make balls of it. If required, dust a bit with milk powder to get the shapes.
P.S. If using dry coconut powder, slightly dry roasting it will give it a nice flavour.
