Notes
1.The color of the ladoos depends on the color of the jaggery you use
2.If the consistency of the syrup is not correct,the mixture will be very runny and you will not be able to shape the balls,in that case you can heat the entire mixture for 5- minutes,cool and try shaping again
3.Do not let the mixture cool completely as it will trun rock hard and you will not be able to shape out balls.Finish making the balls while the mixture is still warm
