Deepavali is in a week’s time and I thought of sharing some festival recipes that can be prepared easily. First on the list is this awesome Gram Flour Laddoo (கடலை மாவு லட்டு). My mother’s recipe and made it for the first during Navarathri , turned out perfectly well. Do read the notes before starting to make the laddu. From the measurements given below you can make 12 medium sized laddoo. Kindly increase quantity according to your requirement
Notes :
1. Sifting Gram Flour helps to remove lumps and yields smooth Laddoo
2. Don’t add more sugar than mentioned in the recipe. It will be difficult to shape them
3. I have seen people adding tiny bit of roasted semolina to add some texture & also to ease the process of shaping this ladoo. However I didnt add yet it came out well. Incase if you are unsure about the texture or shape you could very well add 1/4 cup of roasted rava along with gram flour
4. Good Quality ghee is really important as it adds flavor
5. In case if your laddoos start sinking and lose its shape don’t worry. Leave it for 2-3 hours and try shaping them. You will be able to make perfect round laddoo
