Moong dal flour Ladoo - Pasiparuppu maavu Urundai | Nei Vilanga

Moong dal flour ladoo is made with just four ingredients. In Tirunelveli, we call this ladoo as Nei Urundai or Nei Vilanga. This ladoo is super easy to make and it is very good. To make this ladoo within 15 minutes I suggest to grind the flour when you have free time in your kitchen. This method can save your time and you can easily prepare this ladoo in minutes. You have to melt the ghee right after you mix the moong dal flour and the powdered sugar.
Keep everything ready for making ladoos, before melting the ghee. I prefer homemade ghee for this ladoo because I find it was flavorful and tasty. If you are using store bought ghee simmer the ghee for a few minutes and then reheat the ghee for preparing the ladoos. I use split moong dal for this ladoo, you can also use whole green moong dal. If you are using whole green moong dal, grind the flour in your nearest flour mills because in home mixer grinders it won't get powdered finely for ladoos.

 Ingredients
  • 1 cup split moong dal
  • 1.5 cups sugar

  • 6 cardamom
  • 3/4 cup ghee
Cooking Directions
  1. Heat a pan for about 3 minutes and add the moong dal. Roast them well on medium heat until a nice aroma comes out from the dals. When you notice few dals start to turn light golden brown, turn off the heat. Allow them to cool naturally.
  2. Take a big mixer jar and powder the roasted moong dals. Powder them well and sieve the flour.
  3. Next, add the sugar and the cardamom. Powder the sugar, finely.
  4. In a wide bowl, add the moong dal flour and the powdered sugar. Mix them well with a ladle.
  5. Take a pan and add 1 tbsp ghee. Heat the ghee on medium heat and fry the broken cashew nuts. Add these fried cashew nuts to the mixed flour.Once again, mix them well with your palm.
  6. Heat 1/4 cup ghee in a pan on low heat. When you see the ghee starts to smoke, add it to the mixed flour. When you add the ghee to the flour you must see the bubbles on the top of the flour. Then it will be easy to make ladoos. Now take a handful of flour and roll it tightly with your palm. If the flour appears dry, again heat some more ghee and add it to the flour.

Heat a pan for about 3 minutes and add the moong dal. Roast them well on medium heat until a nice aroma comes out from the dals. When you notice few dals start to turn light golden brown, turn off the heat. Allow them to cool naturally. Take a big mixer jar and powder the roasted moong dals. Powder them well and sieve the flour. Next, add the sugar and the cardamom. Powder the sugar, finely. (We powdered the roasted moong dal in the rice mill, so can't able to take the picture).


In a wide bowl, measure and add the moong dal flour and the powdered sugar. Mix them well with a ladle. We usually add for 1 cup moong dal flour 1.5 to 2 cups of sugar. You can also reduce the measurement according to your taste.

Take a pan and add 1 tbsp ghee. Heat the ghee on medium heat and fry the broken cashew nuts. Add these fried cashew nuts to the mixed flour. Once again, mix them well with your palm.

Heat 1/4 cup ghee in a pan on low heat. When you see the ghee starts to smoke, add it to the mixed flour. When you add the ghee to the flour you must see the bubbles on the top of the flour.


 
Now take a handful of flour and roll it tightly with your palm. If the flour appears dry, again heat some more ghee and add it to the flour.  


Do not heat the full ghee and add it to the flour. Separate the flour and the ghee for three batches and start preparing the ladoos. Store the ladoos in an airtight container. 


I  hope  you  will  prepare this easy moong dal ladoos for your family. You can store this ladoo for 1 month. If you use store bought moong dal flour dry roast the flour for 2 minutes and then mix it with the powdered sugar.

Roadside Mochai Masala - Tirunelveli Style Mochai Recipe

This is the popular street food recipe from Tirunelveli called mochai. A healthy semi dry gravy with mochai prepared in streetside pushcarts across many places in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.  Until recently I never had a chance to taste this mochai but my husband tasted it many times during their school days. During last month's trip to Tirunelveli, we tasted this mochai masala near Murappanaadu river. It was delicious and my son asked me to prepare this mochai for his snack box. This roadside mochai masala is made with boiled mochai beans (Lima beans), lots of onions, ginger and  green chillies. As mochai beans have a slightly bitter taste, hence you have to use plenty of onions for this masala . You have to use dried mochai for this masala.  To spice up this masala you have to add a good amount of green chillies and ginger which gives a nice flavour and tastes yummy. This mochai masala makes a filling and comforting dish for breakfast or evening snack. I prepared this mochai in a

Ridge Gourd Kootu - Peerkangai Kootu

Ridge gourd kootu - one of my favourite kootu dish for lunch. Naturally ridge gourd has a soft texture which is suitable for kootu dishes. Mostly we don't add onions, tomatoes and garlic for kootu dishes. For this ridge gourd kootu I have added both chana dal and moong dal. As the ridge gourd has soft texture, it gets cooked easily in a vessel so need for pressure cooking. The dals must be cooked in pressure cooker for the smoother consistency which will be perfect for kootu dishes. My Grandma gave me this idea to include both chana dal and moong dal for this kootu because ridge gourd has high water content moong dal gives thickness to it. After cooking the ridge gourd, the kootu is followed by adding the dals and the coconut paste. The coconut based kootu dishes are popular in most Tirunelveli districts. We all like any  kootu with the combination of dals and coconut small onions cumin paste. In my opinion any kootu dishes must have a mild flavours with a medium thick consi

Mixed Vegetable Rice with Dal - One Pot Protein Rich Rice Recipe - Modern Kootanchoru

Mixed vegetable rice with step by step photos and video. Quick one pot rice within 30 minutes.

Making of this vegetable  rice doesn't involve any grinding or soaking and bachelor's can easily cook this rice. When it comes to any rice with dals, it must be slightly mushy with soft texture. But I do not like mushy rice, so I have reduced the amount of water. You can change it according to your preference.

Wheat Rava Kichadi With Vegetables - Samba Godhuma Rava Kichadi - Healthy Breakfast

A healthy diabetic friendly kichadi recipe made with wheat rava. You can start your breakfast with a cup of this healthy kichadi as it includes carrot, green peas and beans which blend together beautifully with wheat rava. A handful of fresh green peas gives a slightly sweet taste for the kichadi.  There are two main varieties of wheat rava - medium coarse and fine coarse. Fine coarse wheat rava is my favourite for kichadi and upma dishes. Medium coarse wheat rava is perfect for sweet pongal and payasam. Both types require more time to cook when compared to regular white rava. Fine coarse wheat rava doesn't need to be roasted for this kichadi. To cook 1 cup fine coarse wheat rava you will need 3 cups of water. After preparing the kichadi you should let it stand for 15 minutes, covered and undisturbed for a perfect fluffy texture. And once you find how to cook wheat rava perfectly, you will be making it regularly for your breakfast.  Check out my other tiffin recipes here Idli Black
