Millet Laddu is a healthy sweet/snack. It is perfect for mild sweet cravings, and also a great option for kids' evening/after-school snacks. Iron-rich (jaggery) laddu is good for expectant (pregnant) women.

This is my long-time pending post. Last year, when we went to India, ”Vayam super foods ” sent me some millet flour and jaggery powder. Multi-millet flour was a healthy mix, and it used to be my healthy breakfast option.

After trying Millet burfi with multi-Millet flour. I tried these laddus. It was a big instant hit at home. Finely powdered pure jaggery’s taste complemented the laddus.

Millet laddu was also prepared around the same time, but I totally forgot to post. Recently, I was taking my phone back up and found many missed posts like this, and I thought of posting all pending posts.

Healthy Millet

Millet is one ingredient I started using a few years back. I have posted a couple of millet-based recipes in TMF,

Coming back to Millet laddu. Ever since my childhood days, I have loved laddu. With minimal steps, a tasty, quick indian millet sweet. Many use milk for binding and less ghee for laddu, but Amma’s ladoo version always has more ghee, no sugar - better shelf life.

Are you a big fan of laddu like me?

Quick, sweet varieties like this are always my favorites. It just took less than 10 minutes to prepare this laddu snack. Great snack to pack for lunch boxes. Since I have used jaggery for making Millet laddu, it is a healthy mid-morning/mid-evening snack for Adults too.

Notes

Sathu maavu can be used instead of multi millet flour
If you are using Sathu maavu (health mix) roasting is optional
For homemade millet flour, wash millet for 5/6 times. Spread them in cloth till the moisture evaporates. After the millet is dry powder them in mixie
Cooking jaggery is optional. Cook in lowest flame just till everything mix well
I used fine jaggery powder. Avoid using big jaggery pieces
Powdered Sugar can be used instead of jaggery
If you are using cashew, roast them in ghee and add
Adjust the sweetness according to your flavor
Roast the flour well till the raw smell goes
If you find it difficult to make laddu use little warm ghee and make
Before making laddu check for the sweetness, if required add extra sugar
If sweetness is more add little almond flour or roasted gram flour and man laddu
Barley flour/ quinoa flour can also be used instead of millet flour
