Sattu Flour Ladoo

Ingredients

• 1 cup sattu flour
• 1/2 cup grated jaggery OR jaggery powder
• 1/2 cup ghee
• 1 tsp chopped cashew nuts
• 1 tsp chopped almond
• 1 tsp chopped pistachios
• 1 tsp green cardamom powder
• Silver varkh as per required

Steps

1. Put 1 teaspoon ghee into a pan and roast the chopped cashews, pistachios and almonds until golden brown. Drain them into a bowl and set aside.
2. Add the remaining ghee and allow it to melt. Turn the flame right down, then mix in the sattu flour and roast over low heat, stirring often. It only needs light roasting: roast it for 5 minutes over a low gas flame.
3. Work in the grated jaggery, mixing very well until it melts. Follow with green cardamom powder and the roasted chopped cashews, pistachios and almonds; mix very well again.
4. Form the ladoos while the mixture is still warm. If they will not form, add a few more teaspoons of ghee.
5. Serve the finished sattu flour ladoos as a sweet snack. They keep at room temperature for a week; refrigerate them if your city is too hot and humid.
