I am craving to have them since few days now I happened to see a couple of street hawkers selling them but I need them to be atleast 50% contaminated with dust and pollution instead of 90% any tried recipes of both the laddoo and the chutney ?
oh my I used to love these.But they were always sold on some ‘thailla’ and this has to be one of the dirtiest street foods of Lahore.My parents never allowed us to eat it.The last time I had it was in 2005,from outside KEMC anarkali, from a very unhygienic stand and I was flying back to the USA in two days..>:hehe:
I think they are made of chanay ki daal and some other daal,and not from moong daal.They are totally different from dahi bara.
did you already try this recipe from this site? :hmmm: i always thought “ladoos” were the round desi sweets but i guess in pakistan it’s different

This is what I have, I can't find the recipe with the exact measurements though
Take chana daal mixed with a little maha daal and soak it overnight. Grind the daal with some water and into it add some zeera/laal mirch/salt/a little baking soda. Like pakoras you have to taste-check.
Mix the mixture with your hands very well, I remember my chacha saying if you don't mix it well it won't stick together. Fry.
Imli chutney:
soak the imili overnight in water, remove the seeds and boil the pulp+water. Add a little salt/mirch/gharam masala and 2 dried plums (optional). After the mixutre has boiled in a blender, blend it with some mint and cliantro. We also add some black salt and citric acid to give it that tang.
The you assemble it (you may want to thin out the chutney) and add lots of mooli!
