Putanala Laddulu Recipe Preparation Steps
Are you ready to indulge in a delightful and traditional sweet? The Putanala Laddulu, also known as Puran Poli or sweet lentil balls, is a beloved dessert in many Indian households. To start your culinary journey, gather the essential ingredients: split yellow gram (moong dal), jaggery, cardamom, and ghee, along with some grated coconut for added flavor. The first step in the Putanala Laddulu recipe preparation is to cook the moong dal until it becomes soft and mushy. Once cooked, drain the excess water and mash the dal into a smooth paste. In a pan, combine this paste with jaggery, allowing the sweetness to melt and blend into the dal. Stir in cardamom powder for that aromatic touch, and if you like, add grated coconut for an extra layer of flavor. Cook this mixture on low heat until it thickens, making it easy to mold into small balls.
After preparing the filling, it’s time to shape your Putanala Laddulu. Grease your hands with ghee to prevent sticking and take a small portion of the sweet mixture, rolling it into a smooth ball. Repeat this step until you finish the entire mixture. For a delightful finishing touch, you can roll the laddus in grated coconut or even crushed nuts to elevate their taste and presentation. Let the laddus cool completely before indulging in these sweet treats. The Putanala Laddulu recipe preparation steps are straightforward and easy to follow, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced cooks. Enjoy these delicious laddus as a festive snack or a sweet ending to your daily meals, and share them with your family and friends to spread the joy of homemade goodness!
