Nei Urundai/ Pasi Paruppu Ladoo, an easy and tasty ladoo made from moong dal,sugar and ghee. It hardly takes 15 mins from the start to end for the given quantity and also ideal for making in large quantity to distribute for friends and family on this diwali season.
When i heard the name "Nei Urundai", i thought that it requires lot of ghee to make this ladoo and avoided to try it for so long and even i don't know that it's made of pasi paruppu(moong dal) until i prepared on my own.
A few weeks before, when i had prepared the list of diwali sweets to make on this year, this ladoo popped up in my head and immediately searched on my drafts for the recipe which i noted down from some tv shows a few years back.

The recipe seems so easy and it was not that much of ghee i had thought of, so within a next few days, i tried it and it was so good and taste almost like the stuffing of munthiri kothu which is made from whole moong dal and quiet popular sweet in Tirunelveli area.
So that may be the reason for this ladoo is not popular in our area, instead of this, i think everyone prefers to make munthiri kothu. Ok, now let move on to the recipe.

- If the grounded dal is coarse, sieve it once and use it.
- Don't reduce the amount of ghee, it helps to hold the ladoos and also give nice aroma.
Moong daal Ladoo sound delicious . Roasting and grinding the daal and then making the Ladoo method is something that I really like , it makes it so easy to make these ladoos .
