My Notes :
1. Dry roast the ellu in low flame . Once the pop up stops and roasted smell comes . Then this is the indication of ellu roasted well. Dont make it burnt.
2. No need of adding ghee to make ladoo. Since the ellu has oil content in it. It helps in making ladoo.
3. You can add either roasted and coarsely powdered nuts or peanuts to it and make this ladoo. Its completely optional.
