Almond Flour Ladoo is a easy and delicious ladoo made with almonds, jaggery and cardamom.

Almond Flour is easily available in U.S and I generally keep a pack of Almond Flour in my pantry. I use it in curries, smoothies, Indian sweets and add in the chapathi dough. It is also a great way of sneaking in some nuts in your diet.
Almonds are called Badam in India and are used to make many sweets like halwa, burfi, Katli and ladoo.The recipe I am sharing today is almond ladoo made with store bought almond flour.

Ingredients:
Ingredient note:
almond flour – store bought or homemade almond flour can be used. For homemade almond flour, blend whole raw almonds until fine. Do not over process if not the almonds will release oil.
jaggery -powdered jaggery or block jaggery can be used. If using block jaggery grate or break the jaggery to form powder.
Step by Step photo instructions:
1- Heat a pan on low flame and add the almond flour. Pan fry the flour for three minutes stirring often. ( we are just looking for the flour to get warm, do not not brown)
2- Transfer the warm almond flour to a blender and add the powdered jaggery and cardamom.
3- Pulse the mixture few times and add some ghee. At this point you can taste for sweetness and add more if needed.
4- Run the blender again for few seconds till the oil starts releasing from the almond powder and the mixture is coming together.
5- Take a small portion of the mixture and try forming a ladoo. If it doesn’t break, its the perfect consistency. If it is crumbling, pulse the mixture again.
6- Transfer the mixture and form ladoo. You can serve as is or roll them in some almond flour.
Yes, ghee can be skipped. Just pulse the mixture few more times till the almond release more oil. This will help in binding the ladoo.
Powdered sugar or coconut sugar can be replaced with jaggery.
Add whole almond in to a blender and pulse it till it becomes powder. Donot grind at one stretch, almonds will start releasing oil and it can turn into almond butter.
I bought mine in Costco (in U.S.) It is also available online and baking Isle of some of the grocery stores.

Hi Madhu, can we use dates instead of jaggery or sugar and if yes then how.Thanks
Madhavi
I have not tried with dates, but you can certainly use dates. Use soft dates ( if the dates are not soft soak them in hot for 5-10 minutes and drain the water). Pulse the dates and almond flour in the blender till it forms like a dough. Since the dates are more moist, don’t blend too much if not the mixture will become paste.
