Fried gram laddu or hurigadale unde recipe

Roasted or fried gram laddu recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This fried gram laddu is familiar by name "hurigadale unde" or "putani undi" in Kannada. This type of laddus are prepared in north Karnataka. One thing I really love about this laddu is, it takes hardly 10 minutes to prepare and it requires very less ghee. But its very tasty and it tastes just like besan laddu.

You can find many unde or ladoo or laddu recipes on this website like rave unde or rava laddu, shenga unde or peanut laddu, dry fruits laddu, besan ladoo or laddu, ragi laddu and hesarittina unde or mung dal ladoo recipes.

Roasted gram laddus are healthy too. Because roasted gram has lots of nutritional benefits. It is low in calories and rich in iron. This is a kids friendly recipe, and I have heard that the roasted grams are very good for kids. So prepare these laddus for your little ones.
