| Ingredients | |
| Moong dal | 1 cup |
| Sugar | 1 cup |
| Cardamon | 2 |
| Cashews | 15 broken into small bits |
| Ghee | 6 tablespoons + few teaspoons |
Lets see how to make this nei urundai
Recipe is pretty easy. Dry fry the yellow moond dal / pasi payir / payatham paruppu in a kadai till it releases nice aroma. Do not brown too much, we need light golden tinge on the dal. Switch off and cool that completely. Combine sugar with cardamom in a mixer jar and make a fine powder. Then powder the roasted moong dal to fine powder. You may sift the moong flour if you want using a fine sieve.

Combine moong flour, powdered sugar & cardamom in a bowl. Heat ghee in a tawa and roast cashews till they are golden and then add that to the flour mixture. Mix using a spoon to a crumbly texture. Roll them into small balls while its still warm. It may appear sticky while making the balls but once cooled for about 15 minutes they become firm.
Some laddu recipes to try…
- Rava laddu
- Maladdu
- Boondi laddu
- Aval laddu
Notes
- You may use store bought moong flour but try to roast it before use.
- To get soft laddus, sieve the moong flour.
- Usually we at home use 1:1 flour : sugar ratio. You may cut down on the sugar if you like.
- As the name implies.. Nei(ghee) urundai- the amount ghee mentioned above is a must for soft melt in your mouth type laddus.
- Makes 15 small laddus.
