Tambit Ladoo ( Nag Panchami Special)
This is a sweet made as an offering to the Snake God whom we worship in the month of Shravan.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup fried gram split
!/2 cup grated dry coconut
1/2 cup roasted and peeled peanuts
1 and 1/2 cup grated jaggery (jaggery should be the one which is not used in chikkis or else the ladoos will turn out hard and difficult to bite into)
1 small spoon cardamom powder(optional)
2 tablespoons of clarified butter (ghee)
In a kadhai dry roast the fried gram, sesame seeds, dry coconut and grind it lightly in the mixi, see that it does not become a sticky mix and keep aside.
Now in the same kadhai take the ghee put the once it melts put the jaggery, heat it just to a point where it melts, add the ground mixture, peanut powder, cardamom powder, mix well and add enough mixture to see that it is moist and stop adding if u feel it is drying up. U need to start making the ladoos when the mixture is still quite hot or else it will dry and will become difficult to make ladoos. Shape them as shown in the picture. Enjoy:)
Tip- While making the ladoos if the mix starts drying, just sprinkle very few drops of milk this will make your job easier.
