Ladoo

When making Ladoo, a common Indian dessert, people often find themselves struggling with achieving the right consistency, sweetening the dessert to their preference, and knowing when the mixture is cooked enough. People generally tend to struggle with the rolling part as the Ladoos tend to break apart if not done correctly. To get the most out of this dessert, make sure that you choose quality ingredients. For example, using freshly ground cardamom can give the sweet a wonderful aroma and flavor. Adding ghee adds a rich taste to the sweet and aids in binding. Don’t rush the cooking process of Ladoo. Cook the flour on low heat until it turns golden and releases a roasted aroma. Although it might not be well known, adding a few drops of lemon juice to the sugar syrup prevents it from crystallizing. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can swap the sugar with jaggery or honey, and replace the ghee with vegetable oil.
