Home-cooked Raksha Bandhan Mithai: Paan laddus
Paan laddus have 2 main ingredients — betel leaves & coconut powder.
Coconut has monolaurin and lauric acid that are immunity boosters, particularly against viral infections. Paan is digestive, and as per Ayurveda, it balances the pitta, Vatta, and Kapha in our body. The gulkand used in the filling is said to be good for eyesight. These laddus are quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients (for 8 laddus)
Desiccated coconut — 1 cup for roasting, 2 tablespoons for coating
Condensed milk (regular or vegan) — ½ a cup
Paan/betel leaves — 4
Gulkand/rose petals — 5 teaspoons
6 chopped almonds
Ghee — 1 teaspoon
4 glazed cherries
Method
Blend paan leaves and condensed milk together in a blender. Keep aside and prepare the coconut powder.
Take a non-stick pan and warm the ghee in it.
Roast the cup of desiccated coconut for 2-3 minutes on
medium heat. Roast while stirring till it gives out a sweet smell and shines.
Add the paan and condensed milk mixture and mix well. The whole mixture should acquire a green colour.
Cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture leaves the edges and looks like dough.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Mix chopped almonds with gulkand. Divide into 8 equal portions.
Divide the laddu mixture into 8 equal portions, too. This helps to maintain a constant size.
Grease your palm a bit & roll the dough into a ball. Then flatten it.
Place 1 portion of gulkand mixture on the flattened ball and fold it around the filing. Seal the edge and roll it lightly into a ball again. Roll all 8 balls.
Place the saved desiccated coconut on a plate and roll the laddus to coat them.
Cut glazed cherries in half and place on the laddus as garnish.
Serve it to time and add more sweetness to your bond this Rakhi!
Happy Raksha-Bandhan
