Moong dal Ladoo with step wise pictorial and video method.

Made with husked split moong lentils, moong dal ladoo is one of the most delicious ladoo recipe gets ready in very less time.

A classic traditional recipe from the Andhra cuisine and also called Pesara Sunnundalu in Telugu language, these protein rich ladoo just melt in mouth and each bite has a divine taste.

These ladoo are generally made on special occasions like Krishna Janmashtami or Ganesh chaturthi or festivals like Diwali.

Stays good for 2 weeks, these sweet balls are perfect to be kept in airtight container and enjoy as and when you like.

At times we keep them in refrigerator during peak summers and if they harden, just microwave for 30 second and they are just like mouth melting.

Looks very similar to besan ke laddoo, they can make anyone confused if you don’t tell them that these are made with a daal.

There are 3 ways to make moong dal ladoo :

One, after washing the daal, like we have done in the present post.

Two, without washing the daal. Just roast the daal and grind.

Third, with the readymade moong dal flour. If the flour is not roasted, then do roast them before using.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF MOONG DAL LADOO

1. Wash dal and spread it in some tray so that it dries completely.

2. When dal turns completely dry, add it to a heavy bottomed pan and dry roast until aromatic. It will take 10-12 minutes.

3. When dal cooled down completely, grind it to a fine powder.

4. You may sieve the powdered dal for fine texture. This step is optional but we did it.

5. Take sugar and seeds of cardamoms in a grinder.

6. Grind them to a fine powder. 

7. You may sieve the sugar too for fine texture. Again this step is optional but we did it.

8. Take the powdered dal and powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix.

9. Add desi ghee. Ghee should be melted but not hot.

10. Mix and start binding the mixture into ladoo shaped balls. If mixture is not binding into ladoo, you may add bit of more desi ghee.

Enjoy.

NOTES

1. You can sun dry the dal or keep it under fan.

2. Some uses daal without washing, choice is yours.
