Here’s an easy, kid-friendly way to make Peanut Laddu at home.

Why Peanut Laddu Is Great for Kids

Peanut laddu is not just a sweet—it’s a power snack.

• Rich in protein and healthy fats
• Boosts energy and immunity
• Supports brain development
• Free from artificial colors and preservatives

It’s an excellent alternative to store-bought chocolates and candies.

Ingredients for Peanut Laddu

You’ll need only a few basic ingredients:

• 2 cups raw peanuts
• ¾ cup powdered jaggery (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• ½ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
• A pinch of edible gum (optional, for extra nutrition)

How to Make Peanut Laddu (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Roast the Peanuts

Dry roast the peanuts on low to medium flame until they turn golden and aromatic. Let them cool slightly, then remove the skins by rubbing them between your palms.

Step 2: Grind the Peanuts

Grind the roasted peanuts into a coarse powder. Avoid over-grinding, as peanuts release oil quickly.

Step 3: Prepare the Mixture

Add powdered jaggery, cardamom powder, and edible gum (if using) to the peanut powder. Mix well.

Step 4: Add Ghee

Warm the ghee slightly and add it to the mixture. This helps bind everything together.

Step 5: Shape the Laddus

While the mixture is still warm, take small portions and roll them into round laddus. Press gently so they hold their shape.

Tips to Make Peanut Laddu More Kid-Friendly

• Make smaller-sized laddus for easy eating
• Add a little grated coconut for extra flavor
• Mix in crushed dates or raisins for natural sweetness
• Avoid overly hard texture—soft laddus are better for kids

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container
• Keeps fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature
• Refrigeration can extend shelf life up to 1 month
