Ingredients
- 1 Cup Fenugreek Seeds (Methi)
- 1 Cup Wheat Flour
- 1 Cup Jaggery, grated
- ½ Cup Ghee
- ¼ Cup Desiccated Coconut
- ½ tsp Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)
- Chopped nuts (Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios) for garnish
- Ghee for greasing hands
Method
- Dry roast the fenugreek seeds in a pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Once roasted, let them cool.
- Grind the roasted fenugreek seeds into a fine powder using a grinder or mixer.
- In the same pan, add ghee and roast the wheat flour until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted fenugreek powder, roasted wheat flour, grated jaggery, desiccated coconut, and cardamom powder. Mix well.
- Heat a little ghee in a small pan. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round laddus with greased hands.
- Garnish each laddu with chopped nuts of your choice. Press the nuts gently into the laddu to ensure they stick.
- Allow the Methi Ladoo to cool and set for a few hours. They will harden as they cool.
- Once the laddus have completely cooled and set, store them in an airtight container.
