Notes
Proportion of grains , quantity of jaggery can be altered.
Here, I have used peanuts with the skin. If you prefer to remove the skin after roasting, do so and then grind the peanuts.
Ghee is used for a nice flavour and for binding the ingredients together. So, just a little is enough.
These ladoos can be stored in an air tight container , in room temperature for 10 days.
The ladoo mixture can be smooth or coarse. I kept it slightly coarse.
Adding nuts is optional in this recipe.
Ladoos can be made easily when the mixture is warm. If you find it difficult to hold them together, slightly heat the mixture and try again.
