Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Oil - 1 tbsp
Jaggery - 1/2 cup Shredded OR thinly sliced
Ghee - 3/4 cup
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Nutmeg powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Poppy seeds (Khus-khus) - 1 tbsp (optional)
Oil OR Ghee for frying

Method:

Take the flour and 1 tbsp oil and use warm water to knead a very hard dough. Then use your palms to form first-sized koftas/rolls from the dough. It should be very hard, if you drop them they should not break or crumble. Now take a oil OR ghee and fry these balls on medium flame till they turn a little more than light brown in colour. Set them aside to cool.

Once the fried rolls come down to room temperature, crust them in a dry grinder to form a coarse powder. Do not grind it too smooth. Now take this powder in a dish with edge. Add the cardamom and nutmeg powder to the mixture and mix it well.

Warm the ghee to make it liquid, now add the jaggery and mix it well until the jaggery evenly mixes with the ghee but make sure jaggery is not over cook. Now add this mixture in the flour and mix it well. Once you feel the mixture is reasonably soft, take a small portion and roll it into a medium sized Laddoo. Remove the poppy seeds in a dish and rollover each laddoo in this.

Laddoo is now ready to eat, Enjoy it !!!!
