Sooji ladoo is a traditional Indian sweet that holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother would make these ladoos every Diwali, and they were always a hit with the whole family.

The process of making sooji ladoo is quite simple, but the end result is a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth sweet that is perfect for any occasion. The key is to roast the sooji until it is golden brown and then mix it with a thick, syrupy sugar mixture and ghee. The mixture is then shaped into small, round ladoos and coated with chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.

Every time I make sooji ladoo, I am reminded of my childhood and the special bond I share with my mother. I hope you will enjoy this recipe and create your own memories with your loved ones. Happy cooking!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup of sooji (semolina)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of ghee
  • 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder
  • A handful of chopped nuts (such as almonds, pistachios, or cashews)

INSTRUCTION

  • In a pan, roast the sooji over medium heat until it turns golden brown, stirring frequently.
  • In a separate pan, bring the sugar and water to a boil and cook until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
  • Add the ghee and cardamom powder to the sooji and mix well.
  • Add the syrup to the sooji mixture and mix well until everything is well combined.

  • Serve the laddus immediately or store them in an airtight container for later. Enjoy!
