Here is another quick and easy recipe using jowar grains. I remembered the laddu posted by Srivalli and checked it and found it suits my BM theme of cooking with five or less ingredients. Noted the recipe and went to the kitchen straight away and the laddus were ready in 15 minutes. It makes a very healthy snack for kids and adults alike. There is very little ghee used in the recipe and is sweetened with jaggery. This fits the bill as a nutritious sweet for your after meal dessert.
Time Taken : 15 minutes
Yields : 11 nos
Yields : 11 nos
You need
- Jowar grains - 1/2 cup
- Grated jaggery - 1/2 cup
- Cardamom - a pinch
- Ghee - 1 tablespoon
- Cashew - 5 nos, coarsely ground
Method
To prepare this laddu, jowar pops is ground and mixed with jaggery. Ghee is the binding agent. First the pops are to be made. Heat a pan. When it is hot, add the jowar grains. Keep stirring it. After 2-3 minutes, the grains will start pop. For me, not even half of the grains popped and I stopped roasting further in the fear of burning the grains.
Pulse the jowar pops in the mixer grinder. Don't grind it to a fine powder. Add the grated jaggery to it. Pulse it further so that it makes a homogeneous mix. Take the mix to a bowl. Add cashews, cardamom powder and warm ghee to the mix. Mix well. The mix may look dry but you will be able to make balls out of it. Make lemon sized balls. Press it tight so that it stays together. It is very tasty that its difficult to stop with one.

ReplyDeleteWhen I tried a few months earlier, the jowar grains didn't pop well (may be they were not fresh ?)and they were hard to bite on and so gave up on this!
