Method
To make the carrot ladoo:
- Take a non-stick pan and add 1 tbsp ghee. Heat it over low flame. Add grated carrot and saute for 8-10 minutes or until it shrinks a little. The raw smell of the carrots should disappear.
- Pour condensed milk and continue to cook over low flame.
- Keep cooking until it turns into a sticky mixture. Add another tablespoon of ghee and cook for a few minutes until it thickens.
- Turn the heat off, add cardamom powder and mix thoroughly.
- Allow it to cool down a little. Once the mixture is warm to the touch, shape them into small ladoos.
To make almond and pistachio ladoo:
- Heat a non-stick pan over low flame. Add pistachios and lightly roast it for about 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off and set aside to cool down. Then grind to a coarse powder.
- In the same pan add 1 tsp ghee and heat it over low flame. Add the chopped almonds and cook for a minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Then add another teaspoon of ghee in the pan and once it melts, add the chopped pistachios. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Pour 1.5 tbsp ghee in a non-stick pan and heat it over a medium-low flame. Lower the flame and add semolina. Roast it for about 8-10 minutes while stirring continuously. Once the colour of the semolina becomes light golden and it gives off a mild aroma, turn the heat off.
- Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool for 4-5 minutes.
- Add condensed milk ( ½ cup+2 tbsand keep mixing until it comes together like a dough.
- Divide the dough into two parts and place them in separate bowls. To the first bowl add coconut flakes, chopped almonds which were roasted in ghee and ¼ tsp cardamom powder. Mix well and shape them into small ladoos.
- Brush each almond ladoo with condensed milk and roll them in desiccated coconut.
- In the second bowl, add ¼ tsp cardamom powder and chopped pistachio which were roasted in ghee. Combine well and shape them into small ladoos.
- Brush each pistachio ladoo with condensed milk and roll them in pistachio powder.
Notes
- Always grease your palm with ghee before shaping the ladoos.
- While making the suji mixture, if it looks very dry then you may pour a little milk into it and then combine well.
- While working on the first dough, keep the other dough covered with cling film. This will prevent it from drying out.
- Store all the ladoos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
