Sandola ke Laddu

To make Sandola ke Laddu, start by heating desi ghee in a pan. Add carom seeds and dry ginger powder, then incorporate the dry fruits (except for raisins) and cook them on low heat until they are crisp and golden. Next, add the raisins and cook for an additional minute. Finally, mix in the crushed jaggery and cook for another minute or two on medium heat. Once done, turn off the flame and allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm before molding it into laddus.

No, Sandola ke Laddu are not suitable for a vegan diet as they contain desi ghee, which is a dairy product. However, you can substitute the ghee with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative to make a vegan version of this traditional sweet.

If you don't have jaggery on hand, you can substitute it with brown sugar or coconut sugar. Keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different, but these alternatives will still provide sweetness to your Sandola ke Laddu.

To keep your Sandola ke Laddu fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, you can refrigerate them, where they can last for up to two weeks. Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste.

Sandola ke Laddu pair wonderfully with a cup of masala chai or warm milk, especially during festive occasions like Janmashtami. You can also serve them alongside other traditional Indian sweets for a delightful dessert platter.
