Urad dal as we know is
good for health and very strengthening especially for girls during puberty and
for women during pregnancy. I tried this recipe from nishamadhulika.com first
time when I had visited my sister during her pregnancy. All of us loved it and
I had made it many times after that, thanks to Nishamadhulika. In north India
there is a habit of making these kinds of healthy ladoos when winter arrives to
keep the body warm unlike we in south make sweets only during festivities or
for occasions.
Preparation
Time: 30 minutes
Cooking
Time: 15 minutes
Serves:
Yields
20-25 ladoos
Ingredients:
1. Urad
dal – 2 cups
2. Bura
or tagar – 1 ½ cups
3. Ghee
– 1 cup
4. Cahew
nuts – 4 tbsp
Method:
Step 1: Roast the urad
dal in simmer until done and nice aroma emanates. Let it cool down.
Step 2: Grind the urad
dal in a mixer to get a slightly coarse flour.
Step 3: Melt ghee, add
chopped nuts and urad flour to it. Mix tagar or bura to it and mix well.
Step 4: Roll into
ladoos between your fists.
TIPS:
*Check for the tagar or
bura recipe from Besan ladoo recipe in this blog.
*You can add cardamom
powder if you do not like urad flavour.
*Add nuts of your
choice along with cashew nuts.
*Adjust sweetness and
ghee according to taste.
*If you live in cold
weather, heat the ladoo in microwave while serving to get the ghee melted and
be flavourful.
*If the bura or tagar has lumps pulse it in the mixer.

Nice recipe Vidhya.. Now its summer should this be prepared only during winter? Because already finding way to keep body cool..
Thank you, Ramya.
This can be relished in summer as well. The logic behind preparing this during winter is, generally our body requires to burn more calories during winter in order to keep the body warm; these ladoos supplement to the system as they are high in calories with ghee & sugar. None of the ingredients as such render any heat-effect to body, so eat in moderation anytime to keep the metabolism good. After all girls during their puberty or women during their pregnancy cannot wait for the winter to arrive...
