Jowar Laddoo

Jowar Laddoo is a wholesome and nutritious treat made from jowar flour, combined with the goodness of nuts and coconut. Naturally sweetened with dates, these laddoos are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert option, providing a delightful taste without refined sugars.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams jowar flour (sorghum flour)
• 20 grams ghee
• 30 grams grated fresh coconut
• 30 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, finely chopped)
• 10-15 grams chopped dates (for natural sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• A pinch of salt

Procedure:

• In a pan, heat the ghee on low heat. Add the jowar flour and roast it until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. This may take around 5-7 minutes.
• Once the flour is roasted, add the grated coconut and mixed nuts. Stir well and roast for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and fragrant.
• Remove the pan from heat. Add the chopped dates, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the dates are evenly distributed.
• Let the mixture cool slightly until it is manageable. Grease your palms with a little ghee, take small portions of the mixture, and shape them into round laddoos.
• Allow the laddoos to cool completely before serving. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
