Peanut Delight–Navarathri Recipes(Day 4)

Fourth day of Navarathri –Peanut Delight

Peanut laddos are always favorite in my house. It is good for your health and its increases the Hemoglobin level. Mostly this is offered to God as prasadam and in many villages it’s done only during festivals. First I was confused with Kadalai urundai which we normally do for Karthigai Deepam Festival. It is very easy to make and all the ingredients are always available at home. Traditional Ladoos will be always a good for a festive season.
