Hello ! Today I want to share a family recipe used for the Hindu Festival of Lights, Divali. It's a recipe for ladoo, a ball shaped sweet made of split peas.

Ingredients

4 cups grind split peas
4 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup dry powered milk
1/2 cup crushed almond
1 tsp ground elaichi
1 tsp fresh ground ginger
1 tbsp condensed milk

Method

Let the pot heat and place unsalted butter. Place split pea to parch in the butter in low heat for about 20 minutes. Then add elaichi, ginger and almonds. Remove pot from the heat then add sugar and powdered milk. Following this, let cool for about 15 minutes and then add condensed milk. Finally, roll into golf sized balls.


Fun Fact
