Notes
If you want very fine ladoo, you can powder the roasted gram dal and sugar separately and sieve them.
I used mix of both brown and white sugar and used total of 3/4 cup
If you are using only white sugar can reduce 1-2 tbsp. It totally depends on your preference of sweetness.
Use more ghee if you are not able to shape them.
Adding nuts is optional.
You can grind 2-3 pods of cardamom while grinding if you don't have cardamom powder.
