Ragi Flakes, Dry Fruit & Nuts Ladoo Recipe with step by step pictures.
April means exams! But for us, it means Mega Marathon time!! Yay!!
If you had read my previous post, you would have seen that I have opted for whole grains as the theme for this marathon.
And…..from the huge list of whole grains, I have chosen Millets!! Yes, there is going to be a flood of millet recipes throughout this month as I want to add more to my millet recipe collection.
I always like to start an event with a sweet/ dessert and here is the first post in this series – Ragi Flakes, Dry Fruit & Nuts Ladoo Recipe
I don’t know when or how it happened, but I have fallen in love with ladoos. Not the traditional ones but the easy breezy ladoos that are healthy and also use minimal ingredients. Check out these simple ladoo recipes to see what I am talking about.
To add another one [or more ] to that list, I used up the ingredients that were sitting in the pantry for a long time. I got a packet of ragi flakes but then used very little and had almost 3/4 of the pack remaining. So I made this ladoo and 2 other dishes, all of which will be featured here this month.
This dish uses ragi flakes, dates, raisins,flax seeds and nuts. I have not used any sweetener in this ladoo. It tasted so good and even the kids liked it!
Here is how to prepare the Ragi Flakes, Dry Fruit & Nuts Ladoo Recipe
A quick and healthy ladoo / Energy ball recipe
- 1/2 cup Ragi Flakes
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seeds
- 1/4 cup Dates,chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds
- 3 tablespoons Chopped mixed nuts
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
-
Roast the ragi flakes till crispy[without using oil].Do this on low flame as it will burn easily. Once done, transfer onto a tray.
-
Once it has cooled down, transfer the ragi flakes into a mixie jar and add flax seeds, dates.Pulse a few times.
-
Transfer into a bowl and add sesame seeds,poppy seeds,chopped nuts [cashew, pistachio,almonds].Give it a mix. Add a little ghee and shape into balls.
-
Serve / store in an air tight container.
- Alter the ingredients to suit your taste
- Add nuts that you prefer.
