Ram Ladoo Recipe – Indian Street Food Recipe

When I first heard of ram ladoo, I thought it was a sweet ladoo, but once I went through the recipe, I found out that it is a famous chat in Delhi. I even saw many videos of chat vendors making and serving ram ladoo to customers. These are moong dhal vadas served with spicy green chutney and grated radish. I selected this delicious chat for the final day of my chat series in the Cooking Carnival – Mega blogging marathon this month. I have never eaten radish raw. The only recipe I use is in sambar which every one likes. I was so skeptical to add the grated radish on top of the ladoos, but to make the authentic recipe, I had to add.

Once you have soaked dal ready and the chutneys ready, it is so easy to put the dish together. They top the chat with only grated radish, but to mellow down the strong radish flavour, I added some grated carrot also. Sruti skipped radish completely and assembled her dish with only carrots. After finishing off our plates, I placed the remaining ladoos in a bowl and added all the topping and left it for an hour. The chutneys were soaked by the ladoos and when hubby tasted it, he liked it so much. He preferred the soaked version to the freshly arranged dish. If you want to avoid deep frying the ladoos, then cook them in paniyaram pan with minimum oil. We loved the deep fried version so much.
