  • 1 cups yellow moong dal split


  • 1 cups caster sugar


  • 1/3 cups nova ghee


  • 1 tsp cardamom powder

  • To begin making Moong Dal Ladoo Recipe, in a large kadai, dry roast the moong dal on low to medium heat for 10 minutes or until slightly golden and aromatic. Turn off and cool the lentils to room temperature.
  • You can use either sugar or caster sugar for this recipe. Grind the dal and sugar separately, in a blender into fine powders. (If you are using caster sugar, there is no need to dry grind.)
  • Sift the dal and sugar powders separately and remove if any coarse bits left out while grinding and discard.
  • In the same kadai, add ghee and allow it to melt. Later add in the ground dal, sugar, cardamom powder and mix with a wooden spatula.
  • Let the mixture heat up for a minute or two. Allow the dal mix to soak up all the ghee. Once the mixture comes together turn off the heat.
  • Transfer the mixture on to a plate and Cool the mixture at room temperature until pliable. Now scoop enough mixture to make laddoo, onto your palm and shape it into ladoos.
  • Repeat and shape the entire mix into ladoos. This recipe made around 18 medium sized laddoos. Garnish with chopped nuts of choice.
  • Store in an airtight container and enjoy when you feel like!
