Millet Laddu is a healthy sweet/snack. It is perfect for mild sweet craving also a great option for kids evening/after school snacks. Iron-rich (jaggery) laddu are 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 complimented the laddus.
Millet laddu was also prepared around the same time but 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 love laddu. With minimal steps a tasty quick 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?
