Sooji ladoo / Sweet semolina balls

Semolina is kind of often used in preparing sweets as it has a unique earthy flavour and crispy texture when roasted. Unlike other sweets it doesnt need much sweetness. You can limit  the sugar in the recipe and still have a yummy taste.

Here I am making laddoo which is very easy and gets done in very less time.

Ingredients:

1 cup fine semolina
1/2 cup sugar
5 tbsp Ghee
1 tsp cardamom powder

1. In a pan heat 1 tbsp ghee and roast the semolina on low flame until its aromatic and has change in color. Let it cool a little.

2. In same pan heat remaining ghee and fry dry fruits until light brown. Keep it aside.

3. In a grinder add in sugar and grind it to fine powder.

4. In same grinder add in roasted semolina and make fine powder.
