Khoya Sooji Ladoo

For Baisakhi I wanted to prepare some sweets to celebrate this festival. As, I have stopped buying sweets from market for any festival and I wanted to stick to my own policy and rule. By doing this not only I am learning new recipes, but the most important thing is that I am making sure that my family is eating healthy and there is no food adulteration. I want to stop outside food as much as I can.

For this  Baisakhi I prepared Khoya Sooji Ladoo's as they are very easy to prepare in fact you can prepare them in 10 -15 minutes. I found this easy recipe from Preety's Kitchen




So  let's get started and learn how to prepare khoya sooji ladoo at home.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Sooji/semolina
  • 1 cup khoya
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup desi ghee
  • 1 tsp eliachi powder
  • 3 tsp chopped cashew nuts, almonds.

Step by step guide to prepare Khoya Sooji Ladoo:
