Involves two process roasting the Peanuts, Grinding and Shaping.
1. Roasting the Peanuts:
-Heat a thick bottomed pan. In a medium flame, add the raw peanuts.
-Stir at regular intervals.
-Keep on roasting till the peanuts become crunchy. Not even a bit of hardness or rawness should be found.
-Once the peanuts are roasted well, keep the pan down and let the peanuts cool at room temperature.
-When the peanuts come at room temperature, rub the peanuts between your palms, or keep the peanuts on a flat surface and using a plate press gently so that their skin peels off. Remove the skin and keep the nuts separately.
2. Grind the Peanuts:
- add the peanuts in a grinder jar.
-Add jaggery powder or grated jaggery.
-Run the mixie or grinder for a few seconds and then stop. Check the texture of the ground peanuts. Grind till you get a coarse consistency in the peanuts.

-Don't grind at one stretch or grind too much as then much oil will be released from the peanuts and you will get peanut butter.
-Take the ladoo mixture in a plate or tray.
Shape it as you wish and serve well.
