Ragi Ladoo Recipe with step by step pictures
After a day’s break, I am here with yet another millet based recipe . I have chosen whole grains for this month and will be focusing on Millets. This is a part of the Mega Blogging Marathon that I am taking part in. To know more please head over to the intro post …
So here is the dish of the day- a ladoo with finger millet flour.I have already posted a version of this dish and today I am here with another one. This one has ragi flour, coconut , sesame seed and unrefined cane sugar / karumbu sakarai.
Usually after lunch I feel like munching something. That something is preferably a sweet!! I know this is not a very good habit.So instead of munching on chocolates/ other sweets / bream biscuits, I make these kind of ladoos that are made of healthy ingredients and way better than the store bought sweets.
How to prepare Ragi Ladoo Recipe
A healthy dessert recipe.
- 1 cup Ragi flour
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut, grated
- 1/2 cup Cane sugar/ Karumbu sakkarai
-
In a pan roast the ragi flour on low flame for a couple of minutes till the raw smell goes. Transfer onto a plate.
-
Toast sesame seed till they start popping and transfer to the plate.
-
In the same pan toast coconut till the moisture is gone and remove from the pan.
-
Transfer this mixture into a mixie jar and add the unrefined cane sugar / karumbu sakkarai
-
Powder and transfer to a plate. Immediately start making ladoo as the residual heat from grinding the mixture is sufficient to let it hold the shape. For the last three ladoos alone I sprinkled a little milk to make the ladoo. They are a little darker in color.
-
Serve/ store in an air tight container.
- You can use desiccated coconut too instead of toasting fresh coconut.
- Also when using fresh coconut, ensure that the moisture has evaporated .Else teh ladoo may spoil fast.
- Adjust the sweetener to suit your taste.

Ragi ladoos sound great with the addition of coconut and sesame seeds . Can we use sugar or regular jaggery for these ladoos ? I guess with sugar we might need some ghee or milk for binding. Health packed ladoos .
