Paasi Payaru Nei Urundai (Green Moong dal balls)

This is a very healthy sweet, the amount of ghee i used here is very limited. You can't find  this sweet in most of the sweet shop. Traditional and also a simple recipe. After preparing it, store it in a Air tight container, it will last for even a month. 

Ingredients
1 cup Paasi payaru (Green moong dal)
2 tablespoon Pottu kadalai (Roasted gram)
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
2 Cardamon pods
1 tablespoon of Cashews

Method

• Roast the cashews with a teaspoon of ghee and keep it aside.
• Powder the pottu kadalai. Sift it.
• In a heated pan, dry roast the dal, till it turns into very light brown color. Remove from the stove and allow it to cool.
• Grind the roasted dal and cardamon pods to fine powder and sift it. Add it to the pottu kadalai powder.
• Powder the sugar and mix well with the dal powder mixture and also add the roasted cashews to it. Mix well.
• Heat ghee, and pour this to the mixture and mix.
• Immediately make the desired size balls.
• Gives you 16-20 urundais

Note

• If this ghee isn't sufficient, add a little more.
• When you heat the ghee and pour on to the sweet mixture, the sooner you make balls, the lesser will be the ghee usage. 
• If you aren't able to make balls out of the mixture, you can add more heated ghee to it. To avoid this divide the sweet mixture into small portion and pour little ghee to mixture make the balls after finishing it, follow the same for other portions too.
