Sunnundalu (Urad dal laddoo)~ Baby shower

Recipe:
(makes about 17 med laddoos)
• Urad dal – 2 సుప్స్

• Sugar – 1 ¼ cup• Ghee – ¾ th కప్

• Cardamom-2 (optional)

Roast the urad dal in a low heat till golden brown. Stir continuously, it takes about 20 minutes. (My hand did hurt because of the continuous stirring, but was worth it). Let cool of completely.
Mean while, melt the ghee and let this cool also.
Now take the roasted urad dal and grind it to a smooth powder using a mixer or a food processor. (First I used the mixer, some how it wasn’t doing the job. So, I switched to the food processor). Make sure it’s nice and smooth. It’s very important that the mixture is smooth and super fine. Keep it a side.
Now add the sugar and grind it to a fine powder. Now return the urad dal mixture to the food processor and grind again. This helps the sugar and the urad dal mixture to incorporate well. At this point you can also add some crushed cardamom.
Remove this mixture to a skillet; little by little add the melted ghee till you get a consistency where you can mold them in the form of laddoo.
