lngredients

Poli / Roti / Chapati – Leftover poli / roti makes the best ladoo as it tends to be a little dry. A day’s old chapati works best.

Gul / Jaggery – To give sweetness to this ladoo we use gul / jaggery as it helps bind the ladoo properly.

Ghee – Just a tablespoon of ghee is required which helps in binding the laddoo as well as giving a nice distinct flavour.

Spices & Nuts – We are going to add freshly crushed cardamon powder to this ladoo along with some slit almonds. You can also use other nuts like cashew and pista.
