Maladu recipe | Fried gram or roasted gram ladoo

By swasthi , on May 31, 2019, 10 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Maladu recipe – Fried gram laddu, maa ladoo, roasted gram ladoo, hurigadale unde are the other names to these delicious mouth melting ladoos. These are one of the quickest to make using very few ingredients for any occasions, festivals or when you have guests home. These are made in almost all South Indian states with the method being almost same.

The maladu recipe shared here requires just 4 ingredients sugar, fried gram, cardamoms and ghee. I have also used cashews which are not used by many as they prefer the mouth melting texture. We also make another kind of these fried gram ladoo with jaggery and other ingredients like peanuts and copra to offer to god during Naga panchami and ganesh chaturthi. Will share that version too some other time.

9. Begin to mix well. The mixture turn really hot and begins to emit a nice aroma. At this stage the flour must get coated with the ghee well. If you see dry powder, just go on mixing. Sugar begins to melt and helps to bind the flour well. If you see any dry flour, then immediately add 1 tbsp more ghee and mix. Then add another tbsp if needed. I used 2 tbsp extra ghee apart from 1/4 cup.

10. Allow the mixture to cool down a bit. When it is still warm take small portions of this and make balls. You don’t need to grease your palms. Do not allow to cool down completely.

Store maladu in a air tight jar. These keep good for about a month in air tight jars if handled with dry hands.

    Is this made from raw chana daal which is fried first? Or roasted chana daal which you get in stores to eat as a snack?

    Tried this and came out well. I tried many recipes from your collection-sweets, biryani, drinks, babyfood and I am turning from a not so good cook to an average cook, will try to become a good cook soon by trying more from your recipes. Your explanation- along with the photos, tips, do’s and dont’s is excellent and very helpful. Your cooking is just amazing and fab :-):-):-)
