Recently navratras were going on & that was a fasting period. Along with many more recipes, rajgira kheer is commonly made so obviously there was lots of rajgira left in the pantry. After the navratras are over, we decided to consume & finish rajgira by making this delicious rajgira ladoo recipe.

To make these laddus, you need roasted rajgira. I do remember that long back, only the unroasted rajgira was sold in the market and to make kheer, during navratras, it was first need to be dry roasted in a pan on low flame.

Rajgira puffed up into a tiny white pearls while roasting & it used to be a amusing vision for me as a kid. Instead of ladle, my mother used to roast rajgira with kitchen towel. Making a lump of kitchen towel holding in her hand, she used to scooch rajgira with light hands to prevent it from burning & for providing equal amount of heat to rajgira, while it is being roasted.

But now, even the roasted rajgira is commonly available in the shops and since years, we are purchasing roasted rajgira only. It has definitely saved lots of time in making any recipe using rajgira. So go ahead with the pre-roasted rajgira & if it is not available in your city/town, then do roast rajgira following the method elaborated above.
