I used 2/3 cup sugar instead of 3/4 cup. Can we use lesser sugar even ? Was sweeter than I generally prefer. Will the consistency be different with lesser sugar? As it is, it came quite soft. Not firm enough for a burfi. BTW incase anyone is interested I computed the total calories to be about 1800. So if you make 6 laddus as suggested by Indira that comes to about 300 calories a laddu.

Walnut laddus came out very nice. My kids are enjoying and are happy that Mom is making new dishes for them. Thank you for these simple yet great recipes. I have a doubt...my laddus came out very smooth, luckily I could make rounds and they became firm once cold. Looks like I ground the nuts too much. Next time I will try to keep it coarse.

Now I know how to make another sweet when I forget the milk on the stove! BTW, my husband is from CMU, too :) <i>Indira says... Thanks Fethiye. Most of the Indian sweets, particularly the ones in sweet stores are made with milk-sugar base(kova), then they will add some sort of powdered nuts like cashews, walnuts etc., Taste really great. Because we powder the nuts, the nut butter removes the need to add any extra butter or ghee. Your husband too:), that's great! It's one of the best universities in US, top five, something like that. But you have to work hard too. Congrats Fethiye, you got a good one. :) </i> Congratulations Vijay and great post again, Indira.
