Indian Home made Sunni Undalu / Urdal Dal Laddulu:


                                                                      

              I love this laddu's. I have not tasted this one until 22 years,once my friend took hostel on that time i  feel very lucky to eat.now which is my favorite even now,it is very famous in Andhra.My Family members  likes this a lot and hence I learnt the recipe for my friend and now I make this on my own when ever he  demands for it.This is a very healthy laddu and it definitely adds strength to the body.

                                                                           

There are many variations to the recipe and traditionally these are made either with white urad or black urad and either sugar or jaggery is used to make this(are mix with sugar and jaggery).The only difference is the color of laddus when made with black urad it turns out bit dark in color.I have stick to black whole urad and jaggery in the recipe considering the nutrition and calories for the recipe.Generally no dry fruits are added to the recipe but hubby and me love to bite in the roasted nuts in laddu's and hence I chose to add badam and pistachios for healthy option instead of cashews.The only thing which I could not avoid is ghee as it is very essential to make laddus and also makes it extra tasty. compare to sugar taste,Jaggery is better and  tasty.
