Tips :-
- If the Semolina gets too hot it will start getting brown in colour which we don’t want,to keep its temperature low we add room temperature Ghee.
- Milk powder will help to make Suji Laddu white in colour.
- If the Suji mix completely comes down to room temperature you won’t be able to make Laddu’s.You can fix this by warming it again on low.
- If still you are feeling difficultly in forming Ladoo’ s wet you palm, job will get a little easy.
- The mix should have good quantity of Ghee to form Laddu.
- If you don’t have a measuring cup use any cup in your kitchen to measure Suji and based on the same cup match other measurements.
