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?
