1 1/2 cup Suji
2 1/2 Cups Milk
1 1/2 Cup Methi dana ( Fenu greek Seeds)
2 cups grated dry Coconut
3/4 cup dry dates Powder ( Chuara powder)

2 1/2 cups Jaggery / Gud
2 /1/2 cups refined Oil ( preferably groundnut oil)
2 tbsp dry ginger powder(Saunth)
1 tbsp Cardamom and Nutmeg powder
Method:
1. Dry grind the Methi dana (Fenu greek seeds) in a grinder to a coarse powder.
2. Soak this powdered Methi in hot milk in a large container over night. Next day the methi will absorb all the milk and swell to more than double its volume.
3. Dry grind the edible gum (gond) to fine powder.
4. Crush or roughly chop the dry fruits, Deseed the dried dates and grind them as well. Grate the dry Coconut and Jaggery separately. Mix the whole wheat flour and Suji together .
5. In a broad and heavy bottom kadhai or wok, add about 1/2 cup oil and roast the whole wheat flour and suji mixture on a medium heat until fragrant and light brown in colour. Remove and keep aside. Add more oil to the same kadhai and fry the powdered edible gum , remove it. Now simlarly fry the dry fruits followed by khus khus and dry dates powder , remove the mixture and keep with the fried gum.
6. Similarly in some oil roast the grated dry coconut . Remove it and lastly roast the soaked methi on a low to medium flame until fragrant and completely dry. There should be no moisture left in the methi.
7 . Now heat up remaining oil into the wok and add the grated Jaggery to it. Keep stirring until the Jaggery completely melts and we can see layer of oil floating over the melted Jaggery.
8. Now add all the roasted ingredients one by one in the melted Jaggery and blend together well.
9. Put off the flame and now add the Cardamom and Nutmeg powder and dry Ginger powder and mix well. When the Ladoo mixture has cooled down enough to handle, take handful of mixture and make round shape ladoo .. #instantrecipes#momhealth#childhealth#familyhealth#momnutrition#babynutrition
