Kerala rice laddu

                   Today I might want to impart to you the recipe of rice laddu. It's a traditional kerala snack.This is a special rice ladoo. Slightly different from the authentic way.  In this rice ladoo i am adding few more nuts like split moong dal, peanuts, cashew nuts and roasted chana. Because my mom used to make this ladoo with this ingredients.   These  ingredients make the ladoo more healthier and tasty. Authentic way of making rice ladoo only needs rice, jaggery and coconut.   The majority of the sweet bites are made with sugar yet in this formula of the rice laddu I supplanted sugar with jaggery. I'm not making any jaggery syrup in this recipe, because when we use jaggery syrup rice ladoo becomes very hard. I used crushed  jaggery . Here I utilized  boiled white rice however you can utilize any sort of boiled rice like matta rice. INGREDIENTS :- * Boiled rice - 1 cup * Split moong dal - 1/4 cup * Cashew nuts - 10 nos * Peanuts - 1/4 cup * Roasted chana - 1/4 cup * C
