Nei urundai / Pasi paruppu laddu

 

Nei urundai is my shambhavi's favorite...it is my mom speciality sweet... she always uses green moong dal ( pasi payaru)  with skin for making this laddu and she makes the best perfect nei urundais according to me, even when she packs from ambai, i haven't seen even 1 laddu break. As its tough to grind green moong dal in our mixer I preferred using yellow moong dal as my mother suggested. This is very healthy sweet that you can make for this diwali especially kids...

Now add on to your todo list of diwali recipes as this is a very easy ladoo recipe! Iam making nei urundai for the first time... But have tasted once or twice may be through neighbours when they pass their diwali sweets. Very pleasant flavour and i think its very good for the kids too. This is so simple and easy to make with the ingredients that are in your pantry... I made this it last week and my daughter love it a lot and finished too.....

Hope that you make this laddu and comments about this...
