Sunnundalu(Urad Dal Laddu)~Indian Sweets 

Dear Friends,

This is my first sweet recipe I am posting to my Blog. Hope can post many more interesting recipes and make my self occupied.

This sweet is made with Urad Dal, will be so yummy. This is one of the specialties of Andhra sweets.

Ingredients:

Urad Dal                          – 2 Cups

Sugar or Grated Jaggery  –  1 ½ (One and Half) Cup

Ghee                               – 1 Cup (Nearly)

Cardamom or Elachi        – 4 to 6 (Optional)

Procedure:

1.Dry roast Urad Dal in a Pan with medium flame, till it turns into golden brown color (at this time good aroma will be spreading). Please make sure while frying you mix it often, so that dal will be roasted in even color. After roasting, let it cool down to room temperature.

2. Now grind sugar+elachi using mixie or blender or food processor.
OR
If you use Jaggery grate then grind it once and make elachi to powder using hand pounder.

3. Grind the Urad Dal using mixie to a smooth powder (Not very smooth a little coarse powder will give crunchy effect while eating).

4. Melt ghee.

5. Add Urad Dal powder, Sugar or Jaggery mix with elachi powder. Mix them well. Now add ghee slowly (not complete qunatity). Add ghee little by little until you get a consistency to make Laddu (Round Ball shape).

6. Place the laddu’s in open Plate for about 15 minutes and then Store in air tight jar.

You can serve from 15 to 20 laddu’s depending on the size of the ball you make. Consume it before 10 days.

Hope you will make and enjoy eating this yummy recipe. Ingredients are very simple. But little patience is needed while roasting Dal and making laddu’s. :)
