Making of Tambittu Ladoo Recipe North-Karnataka Special | Tambittu Unde Recipe

Take small portion of the ladoo mixture and add hot jaggery. Mix it and start making ladoos immediately as Putane powder becomes dry very quickly and it becomes tough to shape ladoos. Apply ghee on your hands so the temperature of the mixture is hot.

First make ladoo in round or circular shape and then press both the ends to make it flat. Flattened shape of the ladoo is the uniqueness of this recipe.

Repeat the procedure with remaining ladoo mixture and jaggery. If jaggery becomes hard then put it on the flame and melt it again.

1. As Putane becomes soft over the time, it is not grounded finely. In that case roast Putane till they become crisp and then grind.

2. Once the jaggery is added do not waste the time, start making ladoos immediately. other wise mixture become dry and it is impossible to bind the ladoos.

3.  If jaggery becomes thick or hard. Heat it and melt it again.
