Ingredients:

2 cups of Madua flour

Instructions:

In a heavy-bottomed pan, roast the Madua flour on low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In another pan, heat the jaggery with a little water, stirring continuously until it melts and forms a syrup.

Add the melted ghee to the jaggery syrup and stir well.

Add the roasted Madua flour to the jaggery-ghee mixture and mix well until it forms a smooth dough.

Add cardamom powder to the dough and mix well.

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes until it's easy to handle.

Take small portions of the dough and roll them into small round balls, or laddus.

Repeat the process until all the dough is used up.

Let the Madua laddus cool down and store them in an airtight container.

Your delicious Madua laddus are ready to be enjoyed! They make for a perfect snack with a cup of tea or as a dessert after a meal. The roasted Madua flour gives the laddus a nutty flavor, while the jaggery and ghee add sweetness and richness to the dish.
