Sabudana Ladoos are a Indian sweet made from tapioca pearls , powdered sugar , ghee and nuts . These ladoos are specially made during fasting festivals .
Well I am not a person who does any fasting , but definitely love to try different kinds of Ladoos . If you guys remember I had posted a series of ladoos for one of the BM , I had made those for the Ganpati festival in our complex . Since I made them for five days , I had two in my drafts .
My friends in the complex had gone crazy over these ladoos , specially this one . They could not believe ladoos could be made with Sabudana . They are not aware that my Blogging friends can make ladoos out of anything ! Seriously I have been drooling over some of the ladoos our BM friends have posted in the previous editions . I have a bookmarked list , but perhaps that list will get completed on the next Ganpati !
For now you enjoy these ladoos which are not melt in the mouth but are slightly on the crunchier side . If you wish to make them melt in the mouth kinds you just need to add some more ghee or milk .
This my Day 1 post under the theme Make One Type of Indian Sweet .
Sabudana ke Ladoo
Ingredients
1 cup Sabudana / tapioca pearls
1 cup sugar , powdered
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
2 tbsp ghee
2 tbsp cashews,raisins and almonds , chopped
Extra ghee / milk for binding
Method
Dry toast sabudana on low flame, stirring continuously until they turn slightly brownish.
It will take 15 -20 minutes and the Sabudana should be crunchy .
Let cool .
Heat 2 tbsp. ghee in a small pan and add cashews, almonds and raisins , toast and keep them aside .
Grind the toasted sabudana to a fine powder. This step can be done in batches. Grind the mixture and sieve it if it appears coarse.
Collect the fine powder and again grind the coarse powder left in the sieve and repeat the process until you are left with finely ground sabudana.
Combine the ground sabudana, sugar powder, ground cardamom and the toasted cashews, almonds and raisins along with the ghee in which they were toasted Add extra melted ghee / milk to the mixture until you are able to hold it together.
Shape lemon sized balls out of the mixture by rolling between your palms.
Store them in an airtight container.

Sabudana laodoo sounds new to me,looks so delicious and tempting.You shaped the ladoos so perfectly.
I could not believe they are made from sabudana either. But you are right, our blogging friends can make anything happen in the kitchen. Ladoos look awesome. I have to try this out.
Interesting recipe. I never would have imagined making laddu with sabudana. Good recipe and you are right about our BM group. They come up with variety of laddu we would not when think of.
Even I was curious ladoos out of sabudana….this is interesting….the pics are droolicious…
I know how lovely these laddus taste and so want to grab some from the monitor screen. Looking forward for the other ones in the serie.s
Those ladoos are looking fantastic Vaishali. One of the easiest sweet to make are the ladoos and in our family, anything and everything can take the laddo form!..
I remember your ladoo posts and also remember how I was drooling looking at those. Laddoos with sabudana is really innovative and they look so good Vaishali.
What a new kind of laddoo this is Vaishali. I can never make anything right with sabudana. Anything I make with it turns to be a flop. I am sure this is one recipe that will not fail me. I am bookmarking this to try.
Have tried sabudana ke laddoo long back, and i still remember the taste of these cuties. Wish i get a huge box of these laddoos from you, they are just prefect to gobble rite now.
This is a new one for sure. A fantastic idea to use roasted sabudana.
Vaishali, those Laddoos are gorgeous and perfectly shaped! Have never thought of a Laddoo with sabudhana though. Pictures make me drool.
Fabulous Vaishalli! These sabudana ladoos look awesome. I have already bookmarked all your ladoo posts. This also goes in the collection ๐ This time during festivals I’m going to try all these.
never tried ladoo with sago before – would love to try it
Perfect for any festivals.. So easy and yummy ladoos.. Going to try this soon!!
Vaishali , you know how much I love ladoos and try out so many varieties too! This one will be tried very soon. The ladoos looks so tempting and I literally want to grab them all!
You are so right….the BM girls can make laddoos out of anything. And this sabudana ione is such an innovative and awesome laddoo to make. If this is on the menu, I would gladly fast!! Looks yum!
