Sattu Laddoo Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups sattu flour
• 6 + 1/2 tbsp ghee, divided
• 3/4 cup jaggery powder 
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder 
• chopped nuts, for garnishing

Method

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan or kadhai. Add sattu to it and roast on medium to low flame for 4-6 minutes while stirring, till it starts releasing its aroma.

The colour of sattu should change from light yellow to golden brown. Transfer the mixture to a bowl & let cool till it is just slightly warm to touch. Add cardamom, jaggery, 1/2 tbsp ghee to it and mix using your hands (the heat from the palm helps the ingredients to bind). Take a spoonful of mixture on your palm, press it with fingers (as if you are closing your fist) to bind it, and then roll into a smooth ball.

Tip: Add more ghee if the mixture feels dry or you are unable to bind laddoos.

Repeat the process to make all the laddoos. The ingredients quantity mentioned above yields 11-12 pieces. Decorate them with halved cashews, almonds or pistachios slivers.
