Kanji Podi Laddoo

My mother-in-law has been having this kanji for years now and it became my favourite after I got married. People associate kanji with sickness, but I would say this kanji can help keep sickness at bay. Its loaded with nutrition. This kanji podi is made with a total of 10 ingredients all of them contributing to overall health. I normally make laddoos using this podi for my daughter to have as a snack in school.

Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Cooking Time : 5 minutes
Makes : 10 laddoos

Ingredients

Kanji Podi - 2 cups
Ghee - 1/4 cup melted
Sugar - 3/4 th cup

Procedure

1. Powder sugar separately in a mixer
2. Mix the kanji podi, sugar in a bowl. Check for sweetness and add more sugar if required.
3. All hot melted ghee little at a time to the powder and stir in well. Check if you are able to form balls. 4. Stop adding ghee when you are able to form balls.

Notes:

1. You can add jaggery if you want to increase the health quotient.
2. If you are adding jaggery, put the kanji podi, jaggery in a mixer and give a quick pulse.
3. Check for sweetness, add more jaggery if required and mix again
4. Finally add required ghee and form into balls. If you add jaggery, less ghee will be required
