My little one loves Laddus.. Amma used to regularly make Ragi Laddus for her when we were in India. Shall the recipe of that soon. For now enjoy these quick and easy to make Poha/Aval laddu that is made with Jaggery, Roasted gram (pottukadalai) and other dryfruits. Also I used very little ghee. If you want you can add one or two spoons extra to get that shiny glossy finish to laddus.
You can prepare this in 20 minutes. I used Jaggery Powder in this recipe. The one I use doesn’t have much impurities so I added the powder directly to Poha. However if you feel the jaggery might have impurities then quickly make a syurp, filter them and then add to the Poha mixture.
