I didn't want to dedicate a whole post for this but I haven't cooked anything worthwhile since MIL went back to her home last weekend after a 4-month stay. While I have a few posts sitting in the draft, they are all unfinished(ie: in different stages of completion).And I am leading my life in a lackadaisical manner..Its going to take a while for me to get my groove back.At the moment though, I am content moping and sulking, cause believe it or not, I'm missing MIL.
In my previous post, I had asked you guys what you did with the milk solids that settles to the bottom of the pan during the process of making Clarified Butter. I would have simply discarded but MIL doesn't waste a thing. This Ladoo(A type of Indian dessert) is what MIL makes out of the brown bits..It was a simple, yet fabulous treat that I enjoyed very much.
Ingredients(Makes 6-8 Small Ladoos):

- Milk Solids(Brown Bits settled at the bottom of the pan, like in the picture below)
- 1/2 Cup Red Millet flour/Ragi (Bob's Red Mill "Millet Flour")
- 1-1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- Stir in the Red Millet Flour to the pan that contains the milk solids.
- Switch on the stove and keep stirring for a couple of minutes until the mixture is slightly warm.
- Add the sugar. This will make the mixture slightly sticky.
- Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions and squeeze the mixture with hands to form Ladoos.

ReplyDeleteProtein in disguise kids. You are a magician.
ReplyDeleteDear lassi(e)
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
Here after a long time and I can imagine how you are feeling in absence of your MIL.
You took me to childhood days. My mum used to make it with simple roasted Atta. I always prefer to eat the milk solid with hot rice, ghee, salt and lots of green chili smashed into it.
Actually , you get more milk solids if the butter is made at home from the Malai ( that solid layer, formed over a boiled full cream milk.) In fact you wont believe , I just make home butter and leave a bit more non-fat solids in it to get big quantities of these solids. Crazy me.
Have a nice week
Healthy ladoo looks yummy!
