Instructions
- 1
Add sesame seeds to a heavy-bottomed pan.
- 2
Dry roast sesame seeds on a medium flame until light brown and fragrant. It will take 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- 3
Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4
To the same pan, add desiccated coconut. Coconut may get burned easily; therefore, keep stirring while roasting it. Dry roast for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat.
- 5
Add peanuts to the same pan. Roast the peanuts for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
- 6
During dry roasting, you can hear the skin crackle, and it will start to fall off the peanuts. Take it off the heat.
- 7
Allow it to cool. Once comfortable to touch, rub the peanuts in between your palms to get rid of their skin.
- 8
Transfer it to a fine mesh strainer and shake off the skin.
- 9
Transfer the husked peanuts to a food processor.
- 10
Grind them until it resembles a coarse meal. Remove the crushed peanuts and set them aside.
- 11
Now add sesame seeds to the food processor.
- 12
Ground them into a fine powder.
- 13
Combine crushed peanuts and ground sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl.
- 14
Add roasted coconut.
- 15
Add cardamom powder.
- 16
Now add jaggery powder.
- 17
Finally, adds slivered pistachios or the nuts of your choice.
- 18
Add ghee. Tip — Do not add all of it at once. Start with ½ cup and then gradually keep adding as needed. You may need to add more or less of it depending on the coarseness of the pulsed ingredients.
- 19
Mix all the ingredients.
- 20
After assembling all the ingredients, kneading the ladoo mixture with hands will help release the oils from the sesame seeds, peanuts, and coconut, thus helping the ladoos to bind well.
- 21
Take a golf-sized mix into your palms and roll them into spherical-shaped ladoos.
- 22
Repeat the same with the remaining mix and shape all the ladoos.
- 23
Garnish with slivered pistachios and serve.
