The most important thing for making this peanut balls is the jaggery should be nice “Paagu Vellam”. If not, you can not make out the syrup consistency. We generally use Raw peanuts, roast them and phew out the skin and make the urundai. We also get Roasted unsalted peanuts in shops .

    • The problem may be
      1. Either you must not have got the correct stage of the vellam (hard ball consistency)or
      2. The quantity of jaggery may be less than the amount mentioned.
      Or may be the vellam is not a paagu vellam to hold the peanuts tightly.
      No need to worry, just keep some more vella paagu(say 1/4 cup)and add the hot paagu with hard ball consistency to the mixture which u already have. Hope it works

  1. Nice one, In north India we make it using Split roasted Skinned Kala Chana, I think in kerala its known as Fried Gram or pottukadalai
    Also use puffed rice to make same sort of ladoo we call it Marunde in punjabi
    Will try with peanuts too

  2. I took 2 cups of groundnut and 1.5 cups of jaggery. It was paagu vellam and the consistency was hard ball consistency. But the urundai was sticky. Can you let me know why it was sticky?
