Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a pan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Dry roast the flattened rice (poha) in the same pan for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove both from heat and let them cool completely.

Combine and Shape

In a large bowl, combine the cooled sesame seeds, flattened rice, and coconut sugar. Mix well.
Add the desi ghee and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is slightly moist.
With your hands, form small balls (approx 1-inch diameter) from the mixture.

Serve and Store

Serve the laddus immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For a finer texture, you can lightly pulse the roasted sesame seeds and poha in a food processor before mixing with other ingredients. Don't over-process, or it will turn into a paste.
Adjust the amount of coconut sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness preference and the type of coconut sugar used. Some are sweeter than others.
If the mixture is too dry to form balls, add a teaspoon of ghee or a few drops of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
For a richer flavor, you can toast the coconut sugar lightly before adding it to the mixture (be extremely careful not to burn it!).
