Moong Dal Ladoo
Moong Dal Ladoo
Moong Dal Ladoos are traditional Indian festive snacky sweets. Ladoos as a dessert are made with different roasted flours or lentils, ghee and sugar. You will find ladooes for every celebration.
Ingredients
- 1 cup moong dal washed
- 3/4 cup fine sugar
- 1/4 cup ghee clarified butter
- 2 Tbsp almonds crushed
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder ilachi
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom frying pan, roast moong dal over medium low heat. Keep stir-frying till its light brown in color and becomes aromatic. Make sure cook on low heat otherwise dal will not be toasted inside. This will take about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer into a plate and let it cool to the room temperature.
- Once the dal comes to room temperature, grind it to a fine powder.
- In a bowl mix roasted dal powder, sugar, cardamom powder and crushed almonds. All the ingredients should be mix well. Keep aside.
- Melt the ghee, ghee should be warm, pour the warm ghee over dal mixture and mix it well. Take 2 tablespoons of mix in your palm and make them into balls. If the laddu is not holding shape, add more about 1 tablespoon of melted warm ghee and mix well. Make laddus with rest of the mixture.
- Store in an airtight container. The laddus will stay good for about two weeks.

Deepa, Thanks
Manjulaji, can I use jaggery instead of sugar?
Hi Manjula, you are so amazing….you have a way of making cooking seem easy as you simplify the steps, give hints and tips as if Mom was teaching her child. I have made your recipes including puri and naan …..although born in India I never thought I could produce any traditional Hindu food. Thanks for giving that confidence to your fans.
Ok, my question about these laddoos is about storage. Fridge or pantry ( ie if they last!)?
You are such an icon to me especially your catch phrase “Hello, I am Manjula…welcome to Manjula’s kitchen.” ❤️
Kinda, thank you, made me happy, ladoos should be store ether way I just leave them in pantry.
Looks so delicious and cute!! Amazing recipe!!

Manjula, I’ve been visiting your website for years. It is amazing. Your skills, as a cook and as a teacher are fantastic. I was born and raised in the UK, in a traditional British family, but following your recipes, all my Hindu friends rave about how I now cook.
I have referred several of them to your website, and they are also amazed at how good your cooking is.
You’re a real internet star!
Phil, Thank you, I appreciate and it feel so good to hear that. You all are my inspiration.
