Peanut and Gur Laddoos


A great healthy sweet treat for everyone for the festive season and upcoming winter.  So easy and fun to make.  I just love these for my sweet craving fixes.

Ingredients: Peanuts 1 bowl.  Jaggery 1/2 of same bowl.

Method:
* Lightly roast Peanuts and cool.
* Grind Peanuts in a grinder with or without the skin, it makes no difference to me so I prefer with the skin on.
* Add jaggery and roasted elaichi powder (optional) and grind again.
* Bind laddus making small balls with your hands and pressing them hard.  Kids love this!
Variation- You can put some dried coconut powder or almond chhaan that gets left over from the almond/ nut milks.


Peanuts are a rich source of protein (roughly 30 grams per cup after roasting). Peanuts are a good source of niacin and thus contribute to brain health, brain circulation and blood flow.(Source: Wikipedia). Peanut ladoo (kadalai urundai) is a tasty snack which is prepared under 10 minutes.
