- Mix thoroughly.
- If there are small granules in the jaggery powder, then you can just blend the ladoo mixture in a blender or mixer-grinder till the mixture becomes smooth and even.Or you can opt to blend the jaggery powder in the mixer or blender before you add to the sattu flour.
- Next add 2 tablespoons ghee. The ghee can be at room temperature. If the ghee is solid and hard, heat it slightly so that it melts a bit.
- Begin to mix very well.
- Shape into ladoo while the mixture is still warm. If you are unable to form ladoo, then add a few teaspoons more of the ghee.
- Serve Sattu ke Laddu as a sweet snack. These ladoo stay good at room temperature for a week. If its too hot and humid in your city, then do refrigerate them.
