Walnut Ladoo


Tired of eating Aata Ladoo or Besan Ladoo [Most of you are thinking (including myself) - not possible !!), try these delicious and healthy walnut ladoo for a change!


Yield: ~ 32 small ladoo

4 cup walnuts
4 cup milk (whole milk or 2%)
1 and 1/4 cup sugar (you can increase if you like )

- Roast walnut in a skillet for 2-3 minutes
- Allow the walnut to cool down a bit and then grind them in a food processor
- Add milk and sugar in a deep pan and let them cook over medium heat to reach a thicker consistency (~ 30-35 mins)
- Add the crushed walnuts and let the mixture cook for another 15-20 minutes until the milk gets absorbed in walnuts completely and the mixture become very sticky and comes together as one big ball
- Turn off the gas, let the mixture cool down for half an hour and then make small ladoo with your hand.

Isha, I got the Kitchen aid stand mixer from didi as a gift !! Looking forward to using it. I am excited how easy it would be to make egg white stiff peaks and dough etc for the Daring Baker's Challenges now!
