Chocolate Ladoo

Shhh...it does not have any chocolate directly added in it...keep it a secret! :-) It doesn't always have to be exactly what the name says.  This one has a couple of secret ingredients and will be loved by children and adults.

Preparation Time - 2 mins(if you have chapathi/roti)
Cook Time           - 5 mins
Makes                  - 10 small

Measurements & Ingredients:

Leftover chapathi/roti - 1
Bournvita                    - 1-2 tbspn
Sugar                           - 1/2-1 tbspn
Cardamom seeds         - from 1 pod
Dry shredded coconut - 1 tbspn
Ghee(clarified butter)  - 2 tsp
Dry fruits(optional)cashew, almonds, pistachios, walnuts - 1tbspn

Method:

Make the roti into small pieces.  Add these roti pieces, bournvita, sugar, cardamom seeds, dry fruits powder, shredded coconut and ghee into a blender jar and blend until you see all of it coming together such that you can make balls.  Initially you will feel it is just getting powdered, but eventually the oil from coconut and the ghee will help in getting it together.


Take it out from the blender jar and form the ladoos.


Notes:

• I suggest that you first make the powder of the roti pieces and then add the rest of the ingredients to get a smoother ladoo.  
• If you add oil/ghee to your chapathi/roti, then the additional ghee is not required while blending.
• You can of course use fresh rotis
• You can adjust the sugar as per your taste because Bournvita also will have sugar
• You can substitute sugar with jaggery
• I suggest to make in small quantity so that it can be stored at room temperature and be consumed in a day.  If you have lot of rotis left which makes many ladoos, then share the sweet treat with friends and family :-)
