Although the original recipe didn't contain either besan or ghee, I added these two, while halving the quantity as Ladoos and me are mutually exclusive - my efforts to shape them are directly proportional to the rate at which they disintegrate. So, had to use a healthy binding agent, although the quantity of ghee varies according to taste and your waist line :D
This recipe also goes to : Iftar Nights, Food Palette - Black along with Priya's Tuesday bookmarked events and my event - Fasting foods (Vrat ka Khaana) and also Flavours of the South
Prep time : 20 mins. Making time : 20- 30 mins (depends on how many re-tries it takes to form the perfect ladoo, for amateur Ladoo makers like me). Makes : 8 - 10 ladoos
Ingredients:
- Ragi flour / finger millet flour - 3/4 cup
- Besan / fried gram flour - 1/4 cup
- Melted ghee - 1/2 cup (a tsp more or less)
- Mixed dry fruits (cashew / raisins) + pista flakes (for garnish)
- Sugar - 1/2 cup (adjust according to taste)
Method:
1) In a dry pan, fry both the flours separately till a warm aroma wafts out. Cool.
2) In a pan, fry the dry fruits in a tsp of ghee till golden brown.

4) Meanwhile, powder the sugar and add to the flours mixture and remainng ghee and mix well.
5) Divide into equal portions (approximately) and form ladoos. Add a tsp of warm milk if you need help to form the ladoos.
6) Refrigerate for a while and then garnish with slivers of pista on top :-)
