            So what are you waiting for, lets get started.

Ingredients:

• Ragi Flour 1 cup
• Sugar powder 1/3 cup
• Cardamom powder 1/5 tsp
• Ghee 3 & 1/2 tbsp.
• Dry fruits like almonds, pistachios & cashews ground coarsely - 2 tbsp.

Method:

• Heat a non stick pan.
• Add to it ghee.
• Once the ghee melts, add to it ragi flour. Sauté it for 12 - 16 minutes on low flame or until a lovely aroma comes from the mixture.
• Add the dry fruits mixture & cardamom powder to it. Sauté again for a minute or so.
• Remove it in a bowl & let it cool down.
• Once the ragi mixture cools down a bit (it should still be warm), add to it sugar powder. Mix well with your hands.
• Now make small balls from this mixture.
• Store it in an airtight container.

Tips:

• Shape ladoos when the mixture is still warm. The mixture shouldn't cool down completely.
• You can also add raisins if you like. I personally don't like them. So not added.
• Adjust the quantity of sugar according to the sweetness you desire.
