Switch off the stove and leave it for 5 minutes.
Check if you could make laddu . Don't try if the mixture is hot as it could hurt your palm.
If the laddus break apart , add another 2 tspns of melted ghee and mix well and then try to make laddus.
Laddus get a good shape and texture , when mixture is in warm or tolerable to touch condition.
Appreciations for making these laddus are more sweeter than laddus themself :)
