Yellow Moong Dal Ladoo-A very delicious, melt in the mouth and yet slightly grainy laddo made with roasted split yellow moong dal. These ladoo taste just amazing and once you start eating you won’t stop at one.
When I saw the moong dal laddo at Bhawana’s space I immediately bookmarked to try them. And I knew I would be posting it in the mega-marathon under Indian Sweets theme.
These moong dal laddoo is so easy to make and need only three basic ingredients and viola you have a tempting dessert ready to devour in just a few hours.
The basic part is the soaking and drying of dal and it really gives a nice texture to the ladoo. Once you get that part done, the ladoo are so easy to put together.
This was my first attempt to try ladoo with dal and I have seen many bloggers posting ladoo with different dals. I now know the procedure and how delicious they taste I shall be trying more soon throughout the year.
Let’s see a recap of the previous recipes of this marathon.
