    energy balls

    Oats laddu | Quinoa laddu | Rice laddu | Arisi laddu | nuts laddu | healthy laddu | protein laddu is a tasty laddu with rice, quinoa, oats, nuts and dry fruits.

    Its day 5 and there is one more energy balls recipe, this time it is from Sridevi - Coconut Craze. During my Initial days of blogging I was checking my wordpress reader and saw Sridevi's post notification, the word coconut intrigued me to visit her space, and from that day onwards her blog has become one of my regular blogs to visit.

    Her food pics speaks a lot, I adore her recipe collections some of her baked recipes are in my to do list. She is very friendly and gave me great support ever since my initials days and till date. Though she was busy when I asked for Guest post Sridevi allocated sometime and sent me this post. Crunchy snacks balls are waiting, over to Sridevi,

    I have a sweet little treat as a guest post for Vidya Srinivasan of Traditionally Modern Food. Vidya, is a very enthusiastic blogger and has presented us with many wonderful recipes. I appreciate her friendliness and hard work. She has been encouraging me with suggestions and comments which helped me improve my posts considerably.

    I like her baked recipes that have a traditional element in it. She gives them a modern twist making them less oily and yummy. When she asked me to do a guest post for her, I was in the middle of some activities. I managed to squeeze in some time and came up with this easy recipe.

    She suggested a kid friendly recipe and I thought of all things kids can hold in their hands, carry around and eat. My foremost concern was to make it nutritional. I wanted to try something without any artificial additives. It should be attractive to children, easy to make and delicious. I had a lot of things to consider. Honestly, it made me scratch my head and think a bit. Finally, I came up with this ladoo. Hope you like it!

    Energizer ladoos

    Imagine a guilt free snack! A snack that is handy and provide energy to play for a long time!

    These crunchy snack balls will provide you all of the above. They are gluten free and refined sugar free if you do not use powdered sugar to decorate. This is a convenient snack to can grab and go!

    I developed this recipe inspired by a snack ball we make at home. It is from a mix called avalouse podi made using rice flour, coconut and cumin seeds, fried to a grainy texture.  Back home, it is our homemade breakfast cereal that is eaten with sugar and slices of banana. They also make it into snack balls adding melted brown sugar or honey.

    I thought it was an appropriate snack and tried to add a few more ingredients to enhance it. When I took a bite, I was reminded of my aunt who makes them when we go on vacation to our grandmother's house.

    For simplicity, I took equal quantities of most ingredients. You may increase or decrease it as desired.

    Notes

    1.  Laddu harden after they rest a while. Store them in air tight containers or in a refrigerator for weeks. You feel a satisfactory crunch when you chew it
    2. Sprinkle powdered sugar for an attractive coating or dust with chocolate powder if your kids like it.
