  2. Sugar- 250g
  3. Cardomom(powdered) - 1/2 teaspoon
  4. Cashews - 10 
  5. Ghee - around 100 to 150gms
METHOD:
  1. Dry roast the moong dhal until the flavour comes out well and allow it to cool.
  2. Fry the cashews in a pan using a teaspoon of ghee and keep aside.
  3. Grind the moong dhal to a fine powder using a mixer.Also grind the sugar finely using  a mixer.
  4. Take a mixing bowl and add the roasted cashews,cardomom powder,powdered sugar and powdered moong dhal.
  5. Take  deep vessel and heat the ghee. Remove from fire and add it to the mixing bowl. 
  6. Once the ghee cools down a little,start mixing and start making ladoos.This is my first attempt in making a laddoo and I have achieved an Oval shaped laddoo not a round one:).Also,I dint want to use more ghee just to give it a better shape:). If you are not able to make laddoo , heat some more ghee and add to this mixture and keep making laddoos.:)
