Rice laddoos simple and yet delicious – a Christmas goody

Here in this part of the world where I live there are traditional Christmas goodies and among them is the rice laddoo. Here is how it is made

Ingredients

  • Boiled or red rice 2 cups
  • Jaggery 1 cup
  • Half coconut
  • Cardamom powder – one teaspoon
  • 2 tablespoons rasins
  • Wash rice and dry it up slightly.
  • Dry roast rice
  • Prepare rice flour
  • Scrape coconut

Pound jiggery and coconut. When it blends fully add flour little at a time. Keep aside some flour for rolling
Add cardamom powder
Pound it once again so that the whole thing gets fully blended.
Add raisins and mix by hand
Form laddoos and roll them in rice flour gently.
Before storing let the ladoos try up a little
Since there is fresh coconut added they will not last long and it is recommended that they are refrigerated.
There are many type of laddoos but this particular type is only made during Christmas time. There is yet another made from sesame and this again although it is available in shops throughout the year they are made at home only during Christmas time.
Christmas goodies play a major role in bringing in the Christmas. They are distributed among family, friends and neighbours. It is an ardent task to accept sweets from others and also dish out out own. But this ritutal brings all the near and dear ones together atleast once a year
In this virtual world getting together physically is only possible during functions and Christmas is one of them. In this festive season there are parties thrown by friends, neighbors and family.
Exchanging sweets and discussing recipes becomes a part of the interaction, appreciating each others’ culinary art. Today thanks to the Internet in some households tradition takes a back seat and Christmas food items that are a tradition in other countries are attempted.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all who will view this blog.

    • If you like coconut and jaggery this is a great snack. You must be having an interesting food blog. How is it faring?

      • To date, my Food Ways blog shows 30 published posts. I used the Blogspot platform. Just recently set up a foodie blog on Tumblr for more sharing of more food-related stuff. That's where I shared your post. Well I don't know if other people like the blogs but I like them! There is always the goal of successful monetization. However, if I were to draw on my past experiences there are only 4 possible outcomes for my blogging adventures: (1) the blog will be deleted by the site owners, (2) the blog will be allowed by the owners but won't get any traffic, (3) the blog will be allowed by the owners and might actually get subscribers and followers, and (4) I'll die and my surviving family members will delete all of my online activity OR let it stay online but ignore it. They ignore what I do now anyway! :) :) You're sweet. Thanks for asking. :)

        • I like your logic about what could possibly happen to your blog. I hope your point No.3 is what will happen to your blog. I too have a couple of them there but I also know hardly anyone in the family would be interested in retaining them when I kick the bucket going by their lack of interest in knowing what I do when I am living (lol)

          • LOL. I enjoy talking to you. :)

            It's the strangest thing but when my mother passed away, my brother was going through some of her things and found her handwritten notes. It was a collection of quotes she had written down over the years. They revealed something about her character and nature that even her children didn't know. He read some of the quotes at her funeral service.

            Comparison? The thing is … I don't think my own children really know me that well. Also, I have grandchildren and a great grandson. One grandchild I see regularly. But as for the others, circumstances keep us apart and so we don't really know each other. Perhaps they might find my writings online and read them to learn a little something about me. Who knows? Maybe my work might connect us in some way. It might guide their steps if they need advice, or encourage them or cheer them up, if they feel down.

            That's my hope. It's a prayer. :)
