Instructions | Cheenabadam Laddu (made from peanuts and jaggery) is a simple and nutritious Indian sweet. Here’s how you can make it: Ingredients: 1 cup Peanuts (cheenabadam) 1 cup Jaggery (grated) 1-2 tbsp Ghee (optional) 1 tsp Cardamom powder (optional) Instructions: Roast the Peanuts: Heat a pan on medium heat. Add the peanuts and dry roast them until they are golden brown. Stir continuously to avoid burning. Once roasted, let them cool for a few minutes. Rub the peanuts between your hands to remove the skin, then blow off the skin or use a sieve to separate the nuts from the skin. Grind the Peanuts: Once the peanuts have cooled completely, grind them in a food processor or mixer grinder to make a coarse powder. Do not over-grind as it may release oil and turn into peanut butter. Prepare Jaggery Syrup: In a pan, add the grated jaggery and a little water (just enough to dissolve the jaggery). Heat it on medium flame until the jaggery melts completely and forms a thick syrup. To check if it's ready, drop a small amount of the syrup in water; it should solidify and form a soft ball. Add cardamom powder if using. Mix Peanuts and Jaggery: Lower the heat and add the ground peanuts to the jaggery syrup. Mix well until the peanut powder is fully coated with jaggery. Form the Laddus: Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly until it's warm but comfortable to handle. Grease your hands with a little ghee (optional) and take small portions of the mixture. Shape them into small round laddus by pressing the mixture between your palms. Cool and Store: Place the laddus on a plate and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be stored for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your homemade Cheenabadam Laddus! |

Cheenabadam Laddu is a traditional Indian sweet made from roasted peanuts (cheenabadam) and jaggery. These laddus are small, round balls packed with rich, nutty flavor and a hint of caramel-like sweetness from the jaggery. The peanuts are roasted until they achieve a golden-brown hue, then ground into a coarse powder. This powder is mixed with molten jaggery to form a sticky mixture. While still warm, the mixture is shaped into small, round laddus. Cheenabadam Laddu is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, offering a delightful balance of crunchiness and sweetness.
