👩🍳 Step-by-Step Sattu Ladoo Recipe
Step 1: Roast the Sattu
First, heat ghee in a heavy pan on low flame. Then, add 500 gm sattu and roast slowly for 6–8 minutes until a deep nutty aroma develops. Do not rush this step.
Step 2: Cool Slightly
Next, turn off the flame and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. This helps prevent the sugar from melting too much.
Step 3: Add Sweetness& Flavor
After that, add tagar / bura / khand and mix thoroughly so it blends evenly with the roasted sattu.
Step 4: Add Flavor & Nuts
Now, add cardamom powder and chopped nuts. Meanwhile, mix everything well so the texture becomes rich and aromatic.
Step 5: Shape the Ladoos
Finally, while the mixture is still warm, take small portions and shape round ladoos. If the mixture feels dry, add a little more warm ghee to bind properly.
