    Blogging Marathon Edition 9 starts today with about 24 bloggers joining me these two weeks. I had given a month's break during September for the Navaratri pooja. I was glad knowing that Blogging Marathon was missed. I had spent some time thinking over the themes and wanted to make sure that the themes are interesting to make the bloggers think out of the box. I also wanted to make sure we cook for the Diwali that's coming round the corner.
    Coming to the recipe for the day, this is a dish that Amma makes. It's wonderful to know that you can make such delicious laddoos with common ingredients. I would like to thank my cousin for helping us out with making this dish.

    Dry roast the moong dal and cool

    In a mixer, sieve it to a fine powder, repeat this couple of times till you get a fine powder.

     

    Powder cardamon with sugar to get cardamon powder.

    All the ingredients in one place.

    In a nonstick pan, heat ghee, dry roast the nuts, remove and then roast the freshly grated coconut.

    Then add powdered jaggery.

    After few minutes, the jaggery will start melting.

    Slowly add the powdered moong dal and mix.

    Finally add the roasted nuts.

    How to make Pesara papu Ladoo | Moong Dal Laddoo

    Dry roast the moong dal and grind to a fine powder.

    Heat a nonstick pan with ghee and roast the dry fruits. Roast well and keep it aside.

    Grate coconut and roast the coconut in ghee. Add jaggery and it will melt by the heat. After a while, the jaggery will start to melt and bubbles will start to form. Switch off the flame.

    Then add the roasted moong dal and mix well. Add the roasted nuts.

    Allow it to cool down a bit, then make it into balls.

    Notes: You need not worry about making the balls when it is still hot, you can allow it to cool a bit and then make balls.

      same here, I know of moong dal seera, this is new and also interesting. The texture looks grainy so I think this will taste nice.
      Thanks for introducing this to me.
