- To check the consistency of jaggery, keep a bowl with cold water on the side.
- Once the jaggery syrup gets thicker, drop a little syrup into the bowl and try to make a ball with the droplet. If the ball maintains the form when you drop it on a plate, that means the jaggery syrup is ready.
- Switch off the heat, add roasted peanuts to the pan, and mix well.
- Let it cool for a minute before making small balls. (wet your palm while making ladoo; this will help to get the round shape and relief from the heat.)

- You can use store-bought roasted peanuts and skip the roasting part altogether.
- Wet your palms as you prepare the balls to make them non-sticky.
