Ingredients
- 1 cup finger millet ragi flour
- ¼ cup jaggery powdered
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup freshly grated coconut
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the ragi flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually sprinkle in water, working it in with your fingertips. As you blend, break apart any clumps to form a soft, crumb-like texture.
- Stir the grated coconut into the moistened flour mixture. Transfer everything to a steamer basket or a plate that fits inside your steamer. Steam for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the mixture to cook gently and deepen in flavor.
- Spread the steamed mixture onto a tray and let it cool completely. This helps the ingredients firm up and makes them easier to handle in the next steps.
- Once cooled, combine the mixture with the powdered jaggery and roasted peanuts. Blend or grind briefly until everything comes together into a cohesive, slightly sticky mixture.
- Scoop out small portions and shape them into smooth, lemon-sized balls using your palms. Enjoy the ladoos fresh, or store them in an airtight container for later.
