Urad Dal Ladoos (Black Gram Balls)

           Back from a trip to Florida, had a nice time with friends and got to visit  the Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, my daughter and I were very excited, both of us love the series. Returned yesterday night, very tired so I thought I'll post today a simple dish. It requires very few ingredients and can be made in no time. A sweet ladoo with urad dal (whole black gram without the skin) and jaggery, supposed to be very healthy, especially for women..

Need To Have

• Urad Dal - 1 cup
• Jaggery - 1 cup grated or powdered
• Cardamom Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ghee - 2 tablespoons

Method
          Dry roast the urad dal till they turn pink and you get a nice aroma and cool it. Grind it to a powder (need not be smooth but like fine sand). To this, add the jaggery, cardamom powder and melted ghee, mix everything well, roll it into small balls.

Sending it to Vegetarian Tastebuds for Pari's 'Only' - Snacks And Starters event,
                to Zesty South Indian Kitchen for the Hearth And Soul Blog Hop event and
                to Food Corner for the Midweek Fiesta event.


Note
Can add more ghee if needed.
Make balls by taking a fistful of the powder and pressing it together, like you would do with beach sand.
The ladoos might look a little hard if you try to break it but when you bite into it, it just crumbles.
