Instructions

Roast and Prepare the Peanuts

Dry roast the peanuts in a pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly, then rub them vigorously in a clean towel to remove the skins. Set aside.

Grind the Peanuts

Grind the roasted peanuts into a coarse powder using a food processor or blender. Work in batches to avoid overheating the nuts.

Combine Peanuts and Jaggery

Break the jaggery into small pieces. In a food processor, combine approximately 80g of jaggery and 100g of ground peanuts. Pulse until well combined but not completely smooth (leaving some texture). You want to avoid over-processing which would release oils. Transfer this mixture to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining peanuts and jaggery.

Shape the Ladoos

If using, add cardamom powder to the peanut-jaggery mixture. With slightly wet hands, roll the mixture into small balls (approximately 1-inch in diameter).

Enjoy!

Store your ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For easier skin removal, lightly toast the peanuts before rubbing.
If the mixture is too dry to form balls, add a teaspoon or two of warm water or milk.
Experiment with adding other spices like nutmeg or ginger for unique flavor variations.
For a smoother ladoo, increase the pulse time in the food processor, but be mindful of releasing too much oil.
