Notes

Jaggery Powder- Traditionally many people use boora(form of powdered sugar) or jaggery. Boora can be added directly to the ladoo moisture but we need to melt jaggery before adding to bind the ladoos. Many people sometime melt jaggery to high temp. or to one thread consistency so the ladoos become very hard and brittle and sometimes not easy to bind. To avoid these mistakes I use Jaggery powder in most of my ladoo recipes. Jaggery powder can be added directly to warm ladoo mixture and you can easily bind ladoos.
You can also use jaggery but melt it to a point where it just melts. Do not overcook it. You can also use date sugar or coconut sugar(fine) or castor sugar.
You can also add Saunth or Ginger, Cardamom Powder(I skipped) and other nuts like cashew nuts, lotus seeds/makhana, poppy seeds, walnuts, pistachios as per your preference.
