Recipe for Cholai ke laddo

It is one of the sweet that comes in mind when navratri or shivratri festival is there. This is the most special navratri recipe for me.

Ingredients:

Cholai-1 kg
Jaggery-1/2 kg

Method:

First step of this recipe is to roast the cholai;

unroasted cholai

Heat a pan or a kadhai.
When it is hot add 2 tbsp. of cholai.
Cholai will start popping immediately.
Stir it using a cotton cloth or a duster. When popped up bring this out.
Roast the remaining cholai in the same manner.
Second step of this recipe is to make chashni:
Place jaggery and water in a pan and the jiggery dissolve in water on a low flame.
Boil this chashni till you get a two-thread consistency.

Third step of this recipe:
Both cholai and chashni are hot. So you need to work carefully.
Mix chashni into the cholai. And mix well.
Mix these and the mixture will cool enough to handle.

 

Its time to make ladoo now.
Moisten your hands using water otherwise the mixture will stick to your hands.
Make round balls from this mixture.

Your cholai ke laddo are ready, leave these to cool and then these are ready to be served.
