Hesarubele Undey – Moong dal laddoo
At last…. I posted!
Six long months of hesitation to write, coping with slow broadbands, remembering photography, making time for a decent cooking other than routine fast food stuff,…. world was never same for me after moving back to India.
Though i could not post or pass a word of comment to all my blog friends, i often used to make sure that i am still remembered!!(oh yeah i am selfish) I was scared, frightened, where all of you, one day, one by one just knock me off from your blog rolls.
Hoping to continue posting… i have come up with a sweet dish for this new year as a first dish after a long break, first ever sweet dish of my blog.
To start with my where abouts, we are residing in JP nagar, 10th floor of an apartment building. I am off with those cosy little houses we lived in Gulf, still it was a great life which i always miss.
My aunt who had visited us to celebrate New Year, made these lovely delicious Laddoos made of Moong daal. I have no clue how much caloried ingridients goes into this. It was a cool stuff anyway.
What goes in while making laddoos,
Yellow gram dal (Moong dal) 2 cup
Sugar 1 and 1/4 cup
Ghee 1/4 cup
Kaju and kishmish(nuts and raisins) 1 cup
Cardamom (Ilaichi) 4 cloves (powdered)
Milk 2 tbsp
How to make:
Roast moong dal in a thick bottmed vessel or a frying pan till golden. Fine powder it in the mixer. Powder the sugar too. Keep aside. Heat ghee in a Kadai, dry roast moong dal powder in ghee till the powder leaves aroma. Mix this powder with sugar and Nuts and raisins roasted in a tbsp of ghee.
Make Lemon sized balls, keeping your hand wet with milk. Prepare balls when the mixture remains hot and warm. Relish the laddoos, after it gets cooled.
I use lots of Herbs and Spices on our home cooked food. They make our foods so tasty.,;~
i like to add herbs and spices on the foods i cook.-`:
Hi,
I tried this laddoo since i wanted something different for this diwali.I wanted more quantity so doubled up everything. But i feel either the amount of ghee mentioned is not sufficient or the method is missing out on something ….the laddoos could not be binded at all. I added extra ghee to bind them finally and hence the laddoos have turned out a bit sticky..not powdery as i would have liked them to be.
The taste is excellent!

Aparna: Did you try sprinkiling a quarter cup of cold milk on the powder and then you can try to make the ball.

I tried it. But I could not roll it with just little milk on my hand. My palm scalded because of the heat. I put little milk in the mixture and made round balls. Forgot to put the elaichi powder. There was a slight smell of dal but anyway think it will turn out better next time.
Thanks
the laddu looks so good!! I have heard of urad dal laddu and so many other laddus but this one is very new and delicious looking.
cheers

Hi, The image that you have posted of the moong dal laddoo would tempt even those who can generally resist sweets. The images of the ingredients in glass is also good. Curious to know what it is behind the first image. Is it a heirloom piece?
Aparna: Its a craft piece bought from one of the shops at Qatar.

Ah! you are back! Is this is a kannada speciality?
Hi. I am currently writing a master’s degree dissertation about the importance of food to memory and identity.
I have chosen to focus on the Indian/Bengali/Bangladeshi community in London, and am wondering if you would be willing to talk to (or e-mail) me about the role that food plays in your life. The information you give to me could be anything to do with food– that a certain recipe brings back a memory of childhood, or that you are a mum and feel it important to feed your family traditional food (or maybe you have decided to get rid of traditional cooking from your home all together), or maybe you have an opinion about the difference between the food served in curry houses and “authentic” cuisine.
I would be incredibly thankful for any stories that you have to share. I also wonder if you know of any other bloggers that might be interested in sharing their stories? Thank you so much for your time in reading this.
