Ellu Urundai is the most simple and mandatory recipe that we make for Vinayaga Chathurthi. This can be made in a jiffy with just 2 ingredients. These are healthy and addictive too. Vinayaga Chathurthi falls on 29th of this month. Make these nutty flavoured Ellu Urundai / Sesame Ladoos as neivedhyam and serve Lord Ganesh.
Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time-5 mins : Cooking Time-10 mins]
Ingredients:
- Sesame Seeds – 1 cup
- Jaggery – 1/2 cup (powdered)
