Peanut Laddoos – an easy to make laddoos
Peanut laddoos are one of the easiest laddoos one can make. These are primarily made with just two ingredients – peanuts and jaggery. But I have also added cardamom powder which enhances the flavour of the laddoos. Peanuts are an excellent source of proteins and healthy fats. Peanut laddoos are not only tasty but nutritious too. They are a healthy alternative to store bought sweets.
The recipe for peanut laddoo is pretty simple and requires minimal cooking. The only cooking part in this recipe is roasting of peanuts. Roasted peanuts are peeled and ground to a coarse powder. Jaggery is added to the coarse powder and mixed well by running the mixer grinder for few seconds. When the peanuts are roasted and ground, natural fats are released which makes it easier to shape the laddoos.

The peanuts release natural fats when they are roasted and ground. Hence there is no need to use ghee or oil while making these laddoos, which make these laddoos vegan.
