'Peanut ladoo' or 'Groundnut Laddu' is a simple laddu recipe which requires two ingredients - groundnuts and jaggery. Raw peanuts are roasted to perfection and are peeled and ground together with jaggery and is shaped into small ladoos. There is another variation for this laddu where the groundnuts are mixed with jaggery syrup and is formed into small ladoos or the same mixture can be poured into a wide plate and is cut into rectangular or square pieces which is popularly known as Chikki or Brittle.
My mom prepares this mixture(ground roasted groudnut - jaggery) along with ground sesame - Jaggery mixture and use them as a filling for Kudumulu/Modak during Ganesh Chaturthi or to pair with Ottu Shavige (String Hoppers/Idiyappam) or as a filling for Obbattu(Holige), but my mom does not make that mixtures into ladoos. We used to finish half of these mixtures in the form of powder before she uses it for the other stuff and hence when ever she prepares, she prepares them in a large quantity.I prefer the groundnut version more than the sesame seed mixture as I like the taste of groundnuts more.I have earlier posted a recipe for Shenga Holige where we use this filling,it tastes really delicious.
