Flax Seed Ladoo

Ladoos made of flax seeds and roasted gram dal are very tasty and healthy too.
My daughter loves ladoos and whenever she asks for them, it doesn't take me much time to make these. These can literally be made within 10 minutes.




Ingredients:

  • Flax Seeds Powder - 1/2 cup
  • Roasted Gram Dal ( Dalia ) - 1 cup
  • Powdered Almonds - 1/4 cup
  • Powdered Jaggery - 1/2 cup
  • Powdered Sugar - 1/4 cup or adjust to taste
  • Cardamom Powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Ghee ( Clarified Butter ) - 1/4 cup

Directions
  • Dry roast the dalia until it slightly changes the color and a nice roasted aroma is released.  Let it cool and then grind it into a fine powder. Transfer it into a mixing bowl.
  • Powder the almonds and add it in the mixing bowl.
  • Add flax seeds powder, cardamom powder, sugar and jaggery in the mixing bowl too. Mix well. 
  • Add melted ghee and make small balls out of the mixture. The ghee will help the powder bind. 
  • You can store it in an air tight container for a few days.


Note
  • You can either make it with only sugar or only jaggery or mix of both. You can also replace white sugar with brown sugar. 
  • You could add raisins to the mixture before you start making ladoos.
