Ingredients

  • 2 cups

    white sugar

  • 1 cup

    water

  • 1 tablespoon

    lemon juice or vinegar

  • 1 tbsp

    ghee

  • -

    Orange food colouring

  • 4 cups

    Rice KrispiesⓇ cereal

  • ½ cup

    crushed pistachios

Directions

1.     Add the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a small saucepan and stir gently to combine. Allow the mixture to boil undisturbed until it reaches half thread stage (approximately 250°F on a candy thermometer).  The syrup should fall from a spoon in a thick thread instead of drops. Remove from the heat, stir in the ghee and orange food colouring to reach the desired colour.

2.     Allow the syrup to cool slightly for at least 5 minutes, then slowly add the Rice KrispiesⓇ cereal, stir gently until the cereal starts to absorb the syrup. It may help to place the saucepan over medium-low heat while stirring. Allow to cool slightly.

3.     As soon as the mixture is cool enough to handle, but still warm, begin to pack the ladoo into balls using wet hands.  Keep a dish of cold water nearby to moisten your hands. Roll in crushed pistachios and allow the ladoo to cool and set before serving.
