Description:
These VCare For Char’s White Ladoos are an absolute delight for the senses! 💫 My family can’t get enough of these sweet treats, often finding themselves reaching for seconds and thirds. The number of servings can vary depending on how generously you shape these ladoos’. 😉 Remember to refrigerate them, especially because of the khoya, a creamy milk component that adds richness and flavor to these delectable bites. If you can’t find khoya at your local Indian store, don’t worry! I’ve got a quick and easy homemade khoya substitute for you. ✨
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Semolina | 1 1/2 cups |
| Powdered sugar | 2 cups |
| Khoya | 3/4 cup |
| Pistachios, chopped | 2-3 tablespoons |
| Almonds, chopped | 2-3 tablespoons |
| Green cardamoms, ground | 2 pods |
Homemade Khoya Substitute:
If you can’t find khoya at the store, here’s a simple substitute:
- 1 cup whole milk powder
- 1 teaspoon ghee (clarified butter)
- 1-2 tablespoons water
Mix these together until you get a dough-like consistency. This will yield approximately 100gms of khoya.
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Semolina:
- Heat a pan over medium flame.
- Add semolina and sauté lightly until it turns a light pink color and becomes fragrant.
- Remove from the flame and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Khoya Mixture:
- In another pan, heat the khoya and powdered sugar together.
- Mix well and cook over low flame.
- Be careful not to let the khoya turn brown; it should just soften.
- Add in the chopped pistachios, almonds, and ground cardamom.
- Mix everything together gently with a large spoon.
- Remove from the flame.
-
Form the Ladoos:
- While the mixture is still warm, bind it together to form small, evenly sized balls (ladoos’).
- Garnish each ladoo with a small piece of chopped pistachio.
-
Serve:
- Place the ladoos’ on a beautiful silver or golden tray as you make them.
- Allow them to cool completely.
- Serve these VCare For Char’s White Ladoos as a delightful dessert after your meal.
These White Ladoos are sure to steal the show at any gathering! 💖 Enjoy the creamy texture of khoya combined with the crunch of nuts and the aromatic flavors of cardamom. Whether you’re making them for a special occasion or simply to treat your family, these ladoos’ will always be a hit! 🌟
