Sunnundalu/Sunni Vundalu/Urad Dal Laddoo

This is the classical sweet treat of Andhra. I'm not sure if people other than Andhra know about it. It's a melt in mouth ladoo which is simple to make. It needs to occasion to enjoy this ladoo, it's mostly made like a sweet snack for evening. It's a must sweet for Baby Shower......

Ingredients:

• Urad dal – 2 cups
• Sugar – 1 ¼ cup
• Ghee – ¾ th cup

Dry roast the urad dal on medium heat till golden brown(take care not to burnt them), let dal to cool of completely. Mean while melt the ghee and keep it aside.Now take the roasted urad dal and grind it to a smooth powder using a mixer ( Make sure it’s nice and smooth. It’s very important that the mixture is super fine) and keep it aside. Now grind the sugar to a fine powder, then add the powdered sugar to the urad dal powder, mix well that they get incorpotated well, now add the melted ghee, little at a time till you reach the consistency where you can mold them to laddoos. Store them in the air tight container, they stay fresh for about 15days.

Tip: We can also store the sugar and urad dal powder in an airtight container and can make laddoos later by adding melted ghee.
