    What is Laddu (Ladoo or Undo)?

    Laddus are no-bake, ball-shaped popular among Indian sweet recipes mainly prepared using flour like atta (wheat), chickpea flour (besan), rava (sooji), and sugar with additional flavor ingredients like cardamom, rose.

    How to make Almond bites or Badam Coconut Ladoo (Laddu)?
    • In a pan on medium flame, dry roast the almonds or badam till the outer skin slowly starts changing color and you get a nice aroma. Make sure not to burn them. Transfer this to the plate.
    • In the same pan, add the coconut flakes (fresh, dry, or frozen - see tips) and saute for not more than 2 to 3 minutes on low flame. You can roast cardamom pods along with the coconut flakes. Let this cool down.

    • In a blender or mixer, add almonds and coconut flakes and blend it to a coarse powder. Transfer back to the plate.
    • Add sugar and cardamom pods, and blend it to get a fine powder.
    • To this add coarse almond coconut powder and blend till the mixture becomes warm and the almond starts leaving its oil. Stop blending at this stage. (Depending on the type of blender or mixer you use and its size, you may have to do this step in batches).
    • Transfer the mixture back to the plate and roll them into balls of the desired size. For flavor, just add 2 tablespoon of ghee or butter.
    • If you find it difficult to bind the laddu only then use additional ghee. Do not pour all ghee at once to the mixture. Do it portion by portion, so the mixture remains warm, plus the amount of ghee can be reduced.

    How to store badam laddu?

    Badam Laddu remains fresh for 7-10 days when using dry coconut flakes in the recipe. Make sure they are stored in an air-tight container. Ladoo remains fresh for 1-2 days when using fresh/frozen coconut.

    Benefits of almonds or badam

    These are a very good source of antioxidants, high in vitamin E, and low in cholesterol. Eating almonds can reduce your hunger which, in turn, lowers your daily calorie intake and promote weight loss.

    • Add sugar and cardamom pods, and blend them to get a fine powder. To this add almond-coconut powder and blend till the mixture becomes warm and the almond starts leaving its oil.
