Moong dal ladoo is an easy and simple Indian sweet with only a few ingredients. You can make these laddoos in a bulk and store for up to 15 days.
Homemade ghee:
Homemade ghee tastes more flavorful and aromatic compared to the store bought ones. Ghee is easy and simple to make at home in just a few minutes and keeps well for up to six months. I use ghee almost every other day from making bread toast to desserts. So I regularly make ghee at home. I made these moong dal laddoos with homemade ghee that adds an extra flavor to the ladoos. Check out the recipe for homemade ghee.
Smart Cooking Tips:
1. Make sure to roast the moong dal until the color changes to golden brown. Otherwise, the laddoos will end up in a raw moong dal taste.
2. Powder the moong dal to a fine texture. This helps to make a smooth laddoo. If you are making in a bulk, powder the moong dal in batches. Still if you find the powdered moong dal is not in a fine texture, sieve once using a flour sifter.
3. You can replace the powdered sugar with jaggery powder.
4. You can add chopped nuts and raisins in these laddoos.
5. Adding powdered sugar is important for a smooth laddoo. If you do not have powdered sugar at home, powder the regular granulated sugar using a blender.
