     Maladu | Maa laddu | Maa ladoo | pottukadalai urumdai | odachakadalai urundai | odachaladala laddu | maladu recipe | how to make maladu  with roasted gram makes a  filling after school snacks for kids. Pottukadalai laddu is a quick sweet which can be prepared within 10 minutes. 

    Ever since my childhood days I love Laddu, and my Amma prepares a batch of  rava ladoo and puts it in a box. After returning from school I do frequent visits to kitchen and snack all evening. Now a days Almond laddu and wheat and nut laddu are my son’s favorite 

    During navaratri, for prasadam (offering) to God I prepared Maladu. As pottukadalai is good for health I thought of preparing Ladoo with it, so that my son can enjoy a healthy sweet. Usually white sugar is used while preparing ladoo, I used light brown sugar instead. This week we are going to eat lot of sweets.

    My mother-in-law reached my Bro-in-law place yesterday and she told me she will courier sweets and Savories today.  We are going to enjoy my Amma's Coconut Burfi, my favorite "Sri Krishna Sweets" Mysurpak, Patti's (Jagadish's Patti) rava ladoo,  Boondi Laddu, Mullu Murukku, Thattai, Thenkuzhulal:-) Since yesterday I am dreaming about all dishes. I guess this year I don't have to have to cook any bakshanam (Sweet and savory):-)

    Maladu can also be prepared with leftover ghee residue like Nei kasandu Urundai

    Maladu is a quick sweet which can be prepared within 15 minutes. Maladu Stays good for upto a week. pottukadalai Burfi is snother tasty protien rich sweet with pottukadalai.

      The idea of using brown sugar in pottukadalai laddu sounds very innovative, I have to try it too. Tempting laddu.....
