• Sieve this powdered dal and sugar to ensure even mixing.

• Add the cardamom powder to this.( I didn’t add)

• Melt the ghee and add it .
• Mix gently with a spoon.

• When it is warm , make it into round balls.

• You keep in the refrigerator or can be stored in an airtight container too  at room temperature.

           
Note:

• Sugar can be reduced 2-3 tblsp less if you want it little less sweet.
• In that case reduce 1 tblsp of ghee
• If you feel the mixture is not binding after adding ghee, sprinkle 1 tsp of milk and bind.
• But adding milk will reduce the shelf life of the maaladoo.
