Lada (Indian sweetness)

Ingredients

chickpea flour 2 cups
sl. oil 200 g
walnuts or hazelnuts 1-2 tbsp. l.
coconut flakes 1 tbsp. l.
powdered sugar 1 cup
ground cardamom or pinch
cinnamon 1/2 tsp

Cooking method

  • First of all, melt the butter and do it over low heat in a skillet with a thick bottom. Then add flour (if there is no chickpea flour, you can replace it with pea flour) and, slightly increasing the heat, fry it with constant stirring for about 15 minutes. The flour will begin to brown and give off a pleasant nutty flavor.
  • Lada (Indian sweetness)
  • Add coarsely chopped nuts, coconut, cardamom or cinnamon and, stirring, fry for another couple of minutes. Now turn off the heat and add the powdered sugar.
  • Lada (Indian sweetness)
  • Mix thoroughly so that the powder is evenly distributed in the mixture without lumps. Now it remains to let the mixture cool slightly, so that you can stick out balls the size of a walnut from it without scalding.

The dish is designed for

10-12 pcs.

Time for preparing:

20-30

Note

The recipe is taken from the book: "Vedic Culinary Arts". The author of the book: Adiraja das.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!
I saw your recipe and caught fire, because of the holidays I will ask about the replacement of products:

1 sugar powder can be replaced with sugar?
2 in the halva recipe you write about flour from pumpkin seeds, there is meal from them at home - maybe?
and this sweetness can be from this pumpkin flour?

3 Can you replace condensed milk in halva recipe with anything? I'm already quite

Thank you, and happy holidays!
1. If you replace the powder with sugar in the recipe for a fret, then it will not have time to dissolve before the mixture cools. But, if you have a coffee grinder, then it costs nothing to grind sugar into powder!
2. The meal seems to be the same pumpkin flour, only fat-free? Then why not? Just put in a little more oil than in the recipe. Lada in India is made from chickpea flour, semolina, pea flour, lenticular ... even from powdered nuts. So from pumpkin flour. seeds, I'm sure it will be delicious too!
3. If there is no condensed milk, but there is regular milk or cream, then you can simply boil the milk (cream) with sugar for a long time.

Thank you, I hope I can
home has chickpeas, lentils, sugar, no coffee grinder
I'll figure it out, I hope

Can you grind chickpeas in a coffee grinder to flour?
nimart
I found an old coffee grinder, sovetskuu, and poiolola chickpeas not to flour, but rather to semolina, tried to fry longer.
I don’t know if my taste will be pleasant, but I still can't make balls

nimart , I don’t think that cereals, and not flour, can turn out what should be ... After all, chickpeas are peas, and quite tough ...
nimart
the children said, thank you deliciously
I want to do more but the grinder no longer grinds

in the recipe you write "a cup of flour" is 250ml?

Yes, that's right.

Well, it must be the way! I just stood in the kitchen and looked sadly at the pea flour. I bought it on occasion for testing, but did not take root. It's a pity to throw it away, but here is such a gift!

Lada (Indian sweetness)

cooked half a portion on pumpkin seed meal.
It turned out like the last time, probably because this meal also "creaks on the teeth", that is, the state is not powder.
I again boiled syrup like from a halva recipe, and was able to stick balls !!!, wetting my hands with water
after a while they became harder
And what should they be? how do they stick together?
The children have learned
Next time I will cook from wheat germ meal
we don't sell any flour we need here

And on what can you grind peas without breaking the device?

I really liked the healthy sweets, and although this is still in the process of mastering, I still want to learn something new and learn how to do it

what do you recommend?

Here, take a look at these sweets, anything is more useful than chupa-chups!

We know sweets, we make them without liquor, and even eat them with a spoonful of pramo from a can, thanks

Do you get the balls as smooth as in the photo?
Do you buy lentil or chickpea flour or grind it? If you grind on what?

Of course, the same - after all, this is my photo! I buy ready-made flour, it is very thin, like powder. And the meal, judging by your picture is closer to the rump, right? Then maybe not whole peas, but grind the meal to flour in a coffee grinder? And here there is a recipe for a fret not with powder, but with sugar 🔗
nimart
Your photo is magical: delicious glossy balls, a very Indian atmosphere around: bravo: I want to be there
if I fix the grinder, I will try as you advise
thanks for the recipe with sugar - I'll go read
nimart
Larissa, thanks for the recipe
We have chickpea and pea flour! hurray, dreams have come true! one year later
Today I did it from 1 hour. pea flour and 1 hour. chickpea, then everything according to the recipe, with cinnamon, without cardamom and nuts

of course she sniffed and tasted both flours.
it is interesting that chickpea flour has a pea flavor, but pea flour does not, more tasty in my opinion, pea flour, raw
almost full measuring cup, 250 ml, chickpea - 110g
the same pea - 90g
we have chickpeas - 21 UAH per kg, peas - 13.50 UAH
Yummy!!!
Fried in a slow cooker, about 30 minutes

Question: after sculpting the balls, they blurred, do not keep their shape, overdid it with oil?

Thank you very much for the report, nimart ! Maybe you sculpted from a very hot mass? Has the oil not yet grabbed? Or, indeed, did they take more than the norm? I don't know how else to explain it, I never blurred.
nimart
I think I can't wait to cool down, the dish is empty

could not thank you, wrote: "you have already thanked for this message", it is clear that it does not matter that a year ago
scrolled and at the same time looked through the photo again
I got a lighter mass, probably undercooked, I will improve, I have flour!

But don't overcook it! I somehow overcooked (I wanted to add "caramel"), and the mass turned out to be too crumbly, almost did not stick.
