How to Make Peanut Jaggery Laddoo

-

  • Roasting the Peanuts:

    • If using raw peanuts, roast them in a pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown and develop a nutty aroma.
    • Let the peanuts cool, and remove the skin by rubbing them between your palms.

  • Preparing Jaggery Syrup:

    • In the same pan, add the jaggery with 2-3 tablespoons of water and melt it over low heat.
    • Stir continuously until the jaggery dissolves completely and forms a thick syrup.

  • Mixing the Peanuts and Jaggery:

    • Add the roasted peanuts to the melted jaggery and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the peanuts are coated.
    • If using cardamom powder, add it at this stage.

  • Shaping the Laddoos:

    • Let the mixture cool for a few minutes but not too much, as the jaggery will harden.
    • Grease your palms with a little ghee or oil and roll small portions of the mixture into bite-sized laddoos.

  • Storage:

    • Once cooled, store the laddoos in an airtight container. They will last for up to two weeks at room temperature.

For those looking for a change, replacing jaggery with sugar syrup can offer a different texture and color, although jaggery remains the preferred choice for its earthy sweetness.
