MOONG DAL LADOO – EASY INDIAN SWEET

Moong dal ladoo is an easy and simple Indian sweet with only a few ingredients. You can make these laddoos in a bulk and store for up to 15 days.

 

Homemade ghee:

Homemade ghee tastes more flavorful and aromatic compared to the store bought ones. Ghee is easy and simple to make at home in just a few minutes and keeps well for up to six months. I use ghee almost every other day from making bread toast to desserts. So I regularly make ghee at home. I made these moong dal laddoos with homemade ghee that adds an extra flavor to the ladoos. Check out the recipe for homemade ghee.

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. Make sure to roast the moong dal until the color changes to golden brown. Otherwise, the laddoos will end up in a raw moong dal taste.

2. Powder the moong dal to a fine texture. This helps to make a smooth laddoo. If you are making in a bulk, powder the moong dal in batches. Still if you find the powdered moong dal is not in a fine texture, sieve once using a flour sifter.

3. You can replace the powdered sugar with jaggery powder.

4. You can add chopped nuts and raisins in these laddoos.

5. Adding powdered sugar is important for a smooth laddoo. If you do not have powdered sugar at home, powder the regular granulated sugar using a blender.

Easy snack for kids:

Moong dal ladoo is an easy and energetic kid-friendly snack that you can pack in a school snack box too. The best thing about this ladoo is, it stays good for up to 15 days. So you can make these laddoos in large quantity when you have some free time and store for a long time. I make these moong dal laddoos whenever my son is in holidays, even I pack some ladoos for picnics too that keeps my son fuller and energetic for a long time.
