Step by Step Photos on how to make Ragi Ladoo:

Grind the roasted peanut. Add in the sesame seeds into peanut powder and grind them.
Add in the grated jaggery and grind them. Heat ghee in a pan. Add in Ragi flour. Roast it in low flame for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame and add in the ground mixture.
Add a pinch of salt and mix all the ingredients together. Roll them into balls quickly.

Tips:

Desiccated coconut is another ingredient that can be added to this ladoo.
Broken Roasted cashews can be added into the mixture before rolling the mixture into balls.
Roll up the mixture into balls quickly or they will dry out.
The moisture from the ghee, peanuts, sesame seeds are sufficient for rolling the balls but if it is still dry add little milk to roll it up.
