  • If you leave the mixture with ghee for some time it will absorb the ghee and will become little dry.
  • So the amount of ghee given will vary according to the requirement.

Notes

Adjust and add ghee as per need,if the laddu is dry its because of less ghee.
Perfectly dry roasting the dal makes wonderful ladoo’s.
If it is not roasted well then rawness of the urad dal will be there.
