Moa is a not just a ladoo but a love language in a Bengali household. This crunchy sweet made with puffed rice and melted jaggery is very easy to make too.
-4-5 cups Murmura/Puffed Rice -1 cup Grated Jaggery or gud -1 tsp ghee
In a heavy bottom pan, roast murmura till crisp for 5 minutes. Keep it aside. In the same pan, heat ghee and add jaggery. Stir jaggery, keep the flame low.
As the jaggery starts to melt, stir till the whole lot bubbles up. Do not wait for jaggery to change colour.
Once the whole jaggery syrup bubbles up evenly add murmura and mix well.
Switch off the flame. Apply water on your palm and make ladoos till the puffed rice is still slightly hot. Be careful not to burn your hand.
