Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Bhakhri 3 cup ground bhakhri
  • 3 tbsp Ghee
  • 1 cup Jaggery ¾ for less sweetness
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
  • 1 pinch Cardamom Powder

Instructions

  • Process stale bhakhri in a food processor to make fine mixture.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a flat wide pan and roast processed bhakhri mix on medium heat until it deepens in color and starts to form nutty smell.
  • Take it off the heat and let it cool down for few minutes.
  • While roasted ground bhahri mixture cools down, heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a clean flat wide pan.
  • Add jaggery and keep cooking while stirring constantly until it becomes light and fluffy.
  • Add 1 tbsp of white sesame seeds and pinch of cardamom powder to the ghee mix. Mix well and turn the heat off.
  • Immediately add roasted ground bhakhri mixture to the jaggery mix. Mix well and let it cool down some so it is good to handle for forming ladoos. You can certainly just eat it like this crumbly sweet mixture like churma, you do not have to form ladoos!! It will make you life a bit easier!! You can also flatten it in a thali or tray and cut them in small squares once cooled down.
  • Once the laddo mix it cool enough to touch, start forming ladoos. Do not cool the mix down too much, or you won't be able to make the laddos.
  • Serve them to your kids with glass of milk!
