Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup methi dana
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup gond - gunder
  • ¼ cup almond
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • 1 cup dry coconut
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 tbsp water melon seeds
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1 cup urad dal flour
  • 2 tbsp besan
  • 2 cup ghee
  • 2 cup jaggery
  • 2 tbsp dry ginger powder
  • 2 tbsp ganthola powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

  • Grind methi dana into a fine powder.
  • Soak the methi powder in milk for 4-5 hours.
  • Heat some ghee and roast the gond in batches. Crush the gond using a bowl or your hand.
  • Also, roast cashews and almonds and grind them coarsely using a pulse grinder. Then transfer them to a mixing bowl.
  • In a pan, dry roast desiccated coconut, watermelon seeds, and poppy seeds. Transfer them to the mixing bowl.
  • In another pan, add ghee and the soaked methi mixture. Roast on a low flame until the methi changes its color and becomes dry. Remove the roasted methi and place it in the mixing bowl.
  • Add some ghee to the pan, then add besan, wheat flour, and urad dal flour. Roast until it changes color and becomes aromatic. Add the roasted flour into the mixing bowl.
  • Mix all the ingredients from the mixing bowl to make the Methi Pak.
  • Heat the remaining ghee in a pan, add jaggery, and completely melt it on a low flame. Turn off the heat and add dry ginger powder, ganthoda powder, and cardamom powder. Mix well.
  • Add the Methi Pak mixture to the jaggery mixture and combine thoroughly.
  • Start making ladoos with greased hands while the mixture is still hot/warm.
  • Enjoy Methi Ladoo for up to a month when stored in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The proportions of methi and gond should be equal.
  • Grind the methi into a coarse powder.
  • Soaking methi in milk reduces its bitterness.
  • Fry the gond on medium flame until it completely puffs up.
  • Crush the fried gond so that it easily integrates into the ladoo mixture.
  • Roast the soaked methi until it slightly changes color and becomes dry.
  • Add ghee in batches and roast the flour until it slightly changes color.
  • Shape the ladoos when the mixture is slightly warm.
