Peanuts — Add a nutty flavor and a crunchy deliciousness to the recipe. Coconut — Desiccated unsweetened coconut is added to the til ke Ladoo mixture for a more crunch and nutty flavor. Cardamom Powder — Cardamom powder brings in the flavors that make this recipe completely drool-worthy. Ghee — It brings more flavor and moistness to the laddus besides the beautiful aroma. Pistachios — They are used for garnishing the Tilgud ladoos. For an enhanced nutty flavor — Roasting the peanuts and sesame seeds brings out the enriched nutty flavor and the delectable crunch; therefore, it is essential to roast these ingredients until aromatic. Roasting with care — Dry roast the peanuts, sesame seeds, and coconut (desiccated) one at a time in a heavy-bottomed pan. These may get burned easily; therefore, keep stirring while roasting these ingredients.

Roasting coconut — Roast the desiccated coconut over very low heat until it becomes fragrant. The process should take, at most, 1- 2 minutes. Keep stirring while roasting, as it may burn pretty quickly. Cool the ingredients before pulsing — Allow the roasted ingredients to cool down before processing them in the food processor. They lose moisture and become crunchy on cooling, which facilitates the pulsing process. Additional flavoring — These Til Ke Ladoos are flavored with cardamom powder. However, you can also spice it with a pinch of nutmeg powder if you like. For the vegan variation — You can turn these Tilgud Ladoos vegan by replacing ghee with coconut oil. The rest of the ingredients remain the same.

Pulsing the ingredients — I have used a food processor to pulse my ingredients for this recipe. However, you can use a high-speed blender too. Make sure to grind the sesame seeds and the peanuts separately. Kneading the mixture before shaping — Kneading the ladoo mixture with hands after assembling all the ingredients will help release the oils from the sesame seeds, peanuts, and coconut, thus helping the ladoos to bind well. Scaling the recipe is easy — This recipe of Til ke Ladoo can be easily doubled or tripled, as per the requirement. If you plan to scale up the recipe, make the ladoos in batches. Add lukewarm ghee — Lukewarm ghee helps the ladoos mixture to bind correctly; therefore, always add lukewarm ghee. Roll the Til ladoos while the ghee is still hot as this mixture tends to harden quickly, and once cooled, rolling the mixture into ladoos may be difficult. Adding more nutrition — To add more nutritional value to the Tilgud laddus, add a tablespoon of flaxseed meal to the mixture. It adds flavor as well as nutrition to this delicious snack.
