👩‍🍳 How to make Peanut Ladoo

1. Blend peanuts (3 mins): Grind roasted peanuts into coarse powder (visual cue: peanuts are crushed but still have some texture, not smooth butter).
2. Heat ghee (1 min, low heat): Warm ghee in a pan (visual cue: ghee becomes liquid).
3. Add peanut powder (3 mins, low heat): Add peanut powder to ghee, roast on low heat for 3 minutes while stirring (visual cue: peanut powder absorbs ghee, becomes glossy).
4. Add jaggery (4 mins, low heat): Add powdered jaggery and ginger powder. Mix on low heat for 4 minutes until jaggery dissolves and coats peanuts (visual cue: mixture becomes uniform, thick, glossy).
5. Add sesame (1 min): Add sesame seeds, mix thoroughly (visual cue: sesame seeds are evenly distributed).
6. Cool (2 mins): Transfer to plate to cool until handleable.
