Sunnundalu/ Urid dal Laddoo

Sunnundalu is a traditional Andhra sweet made from Urid dal, sugar and ghee. It is a simple recipe with simple ingredients and tastes heavenly. This is my brother’s favorite sweet and my mom prepares every other week for him. Even, Siva loves these too and now I have a reason to prepare them for him. Here we go with the recipe....
Ingredients:
Urid dal – 2 cups
Sugar – 1 cup
Ghee – ¾ cup
Method:
In a pan, roast the urid dal till golden brown on a low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and keep aside and let it cool to room temperature.
In a food processor/mixer, grind the roasted urid dal and sugar separately  to a smooth powder  and keep aside.
Melt the ghee and cool to room temperature.
Mix in the urid dal and sugar powder thoroughly and slowly add in the melted ghee, mix and make into round laddoos..
