Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ragi flour
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup coconut, grated
  • 1/2 cup Cane sugar/ Karumbu sakkarai

Instructions

  1. In a pan roast the ragi flour on low flame for a couple of minutes till the raw smell goes. Transfer onto a plate.

  2. Toast sesame seed till they start popping and transfer to the plate. 

  3. In the same pan toast coconut till the moisture is gone and remove from the pan. 

  4. Transfer this mixture into a mixie jar and add the unrefined cane sugar / karumbu sakkarai

  5. Powder and transfer to a plate. Immediately start making ladoo as the residual heat from grinding the mixture is sufficient to let it hold the shape. For the last three ladoos alone I sprinkled a little milk to make the ladoo. They are a little darker in color.

  6. Serve/ store in an air tight container.

Recipe Notes

  • You can use desiccated coconut too instead of toasting fresh coconut.
  • Also when using fresh coconut, ensure that the moisture has evaporated .Else teh ladoo may spoil fast.
  • Adjust the sweetener to suit your taste.
