🌿 Why Choose Gud Mungfali Laddu?
Table of Contents
- ✅ Natural Sweetener: Jaggery (गुड़) is rich in iron and minerals.
- ✅ Protein-Rich: Peanuts (मूंगफली) offer healthy fats and plant-based protein.
- ✅ No Refined Sugar or Ghee: A clean, sattvic treat.
- ✅ Long Shelf Life: Stays fresh for up to a month in an airtight container.
🍯 Ingredients
- 500g roasted peanuts (preferably the large, oil-rich variety)
- 300g grated jaggery
🔥 Step-by-Step Method
- Roast the Peanuts Use low flame and roast for 20 minutes or until evenly browned inside and out. This step is crucial for flavor and texture.
- Cool & Grind Let the peanuts cool slightly, then grind into a fine paste. The natural oils will release, forming a smooth base. Check the video.
- Add Grated Jaggery Mix in jaggery gently. For paste-style laddus, use less jaggery (300g). For coarse-style, use equal parts.
- Shape While Warm Roll into laddus while the mixture is still warm. As it cools, it firms up beautifully.
