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,

Millet Pongal

Millet Pidi Kozhukattai

Millet Vendhaya dosai

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?

Check out other tasty laddu varieties in TMF,

Almond flour laddu

Rava laddu

Whole wheat laddu

Nei Kasandu Urundai

Maladu

Cheerios laddu

Dates Laddu

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

Notes

  1. Sathu maavu can be used instead of multi millet flour
  2. If you are using Sathu maavu (health mix) roasting is optional
  3. 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 
  4. Cooking jaggery is optional. Cook in lowest flame just till everything mix well
  5. I used fine jaggery powder. Avoid using big jaggery pieces
  6. Powdered Sugar can be used instead of jaggery
  7. If you are using cashew, roast them in ghee and add
  8. Adjust the sweetness according to your flavor
  9. Roast the flour well till the raw smell goes
  10. If you find it difficult to make laddu use little warm ghee and make
  11. Before making laddu check for the sweetness, if required add extra sugar
  12. If sweetness is more add little almond flour or roasted gram flour and man laddu
  13. Barley flour/ quinoa flour can also be used instead of millet flour
