In South Canara (Karnataka) Konkani it is called "choormundo" while in North Canara Konkani it is called "Goli." Because of my lack of sufficient Konkani knowledge when I was first introduced to it, I christened it "Pusuk" laddoo because of its tendency to just collapse. Pusuk is a word in Konkani which means, you guessed it, collapse/collapsed/collapsible.
To make 8-10 Laddoos
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat flour : 1 Cup
Powdered Sugar : 1/2- 3/4 Cup
Clarified Butter (Ghee) : 2 Tbsp
Cardamom (green) - 2 powdered
Procedure:
In a deep pan, add the Ghee. Allow it to melt. Then add the wheat flour and roast/fry it until it is brownish (not so much that its burnt, but just enough so you know its not doughy. I can tell by the color change and by tasting it).
Important: Allow it to cool. Then add the powdered sugar and powdered cardamom and mix thoroughly.
Finally--the hardest part--is to make the round balls/laddoos. There is a technique involved and I've videotaped my mom doing it. [Ignore the noise in the background].
Enjoy!
