I wasn't a big fan of laddu until I tried this recipe. They are so light and tasty that my husband & I finished 12 ladduz in 2 days ;)  rice flour 1 cup powdered sugar 1 cup - adjust to taste butter  125 g -  melted sesame seeds 1/4 cup green cardamom 3 cashew nuts 2 tbsp - chopped Method: Dry roast sesame seeds til light colored and set aside. Powder the cardamom seeds and set aside. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients with hands. Now add melted butter little at a time; knead well until firm and incorporated.  Take a little portion of the mixture in your one hand palm, squeeze in your fist and compress with the help of your another hand to shape a tight ball.  Keep them in an air tight container. They last for more than a week. Makes 11 medium size.
