Notes
Tips for Maa Ladoo Recipe
1. Do roast the fried gram in low flame and ensure not to burn it. 2. Always cool the roasted fried gram completely, and then grind, otherwise, it becomes a paste. 3. Fried gram should be ground finely, else it breaks while rolling and don’t hold the shape. 4. Both fried gram and sugar should be fine, so sieving is important. 5. If using the whole cardamom, grind it along with fried gram or sugar and then sieve it. 6. Don’t add hot ghee (use warm ghee only), else the sugar melts and makes the ladoo sticky. 7. Also, shape the Maa Laddu when the ghee is warm itself, if it cools the ladoo cannot be shaped. 8. Do roll the Maa Ladoo Recipe tightly, so it doesn’t break easily. 9. If you are not able to shape it, sprinkle little warm milk, and go ahead. But the shelf life reduces. 10. Do not add ghee more than mentioned, else it changes the color and the Maladu Recipe turns sticky.
