Motichoor Ladoo

🇮🇳 Indian

Round, festive and entirely giftable — a ladoo with proper ghee roasting tastes of patience. 50 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 20 min Cook 30 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Gram Flour1.5 cups

Optional extras

  • Golden Raisins2 tbsp
  • Almonds2 tbsp, slivered
  • Green Cardamom3, crushed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the gram flour in ghee until deeply fragrant — this step makes or breaks a ladoo.

  2. 2

    Cool slightly, then mix through the sugar or jaggery while still warm enough to bind.

  3. 3

    Shape into ladoos with greased palms while the mix is warm.

  4. 4

    Rest 30 minutes to set; they keep beautifully in a tin.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar added too early toughens flour and milk solids.
