Recipe Notes

Tips for Pasi Paruppu Laddu

Do roast the moong dal in low flame and ensure not to burn it.
Roasted moong dal should slightly change in colour and not brown colour. But ensure there is no raw smell in the moong dal.
Moong dal should be ground finely, else it breaks while rolling and don’t hold the shape.
Always cool the roasted moong dal completely, and then grind, otherwise it becomes a paste.
Both moong dal and sugar should be fine, so sieving is important.
If using whole cardamom, grind it along with moong dal or sugar and sieve it.
If making in large quantity, you can grind the moong dal in flour mill.
Don’t add hot ghee (use warm ghee only), else the sugar melts and makes the ladoo sticky.
Also shape the ladoo when the ghee is warm itself, if it cools the ladoo cannot be shaped.
Do roll the Nei Urundai Recipe tightly, so it don’t break easily.
If you are not able to shape it, sprinkle little warm milk and go ahead. But the shelf life reduces.
Don’t add ghee more than mentioned, else it changes the colour and the urundai turns sticky.
