Green Gram Laddoo Recipe - A Nutritious and Delicious Sweet

Ingredients:

- 1 cup green gram (moong dal), roasted and ground

- 1/2 cup jaggery, grated

- 1/4 cup ghee (or coconut oil)

- 1/4 cup almonds, finely chopped

- 1/4 cup cashews, finely chopped

- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

- 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut (optional)

Healthy Tips:

1. Use Jaggery: Jaggery is a natural sweetener with more nutrients compared to refined sugar.

2. Healthy Fats: Ghee provides healthy fats, but you can also use coconut oil for a vegan option.

3. Add Superfoods: Incorporate finely chopped nuts like almonds and cashews for a boost of protein and healthy fats.

4. Portion Control: Form small laddoos to enjoy them as a healthy, portion-controlled snack.

5. Fiber Boost: Green gram is rich in fiber, aiding digestion.

Instructions:

1. Dry roast the green gram (moong dal) in a pan until it turns golden brown. Let it cool and then grind it into a fine powder.

2. In a large bowl, mix the ground green gram, grated jaggery, finely chopped almonds, and cashews.

3. Heat the ghee (or coconut oil) in a small pan until it melts.

4. Pour the melted ghee over the green gram mixture and add the cardamom powder. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

5. If using, add desiccated coconut to the mixture for extra flavor and texture.

6. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into laddoo shapes using your hands. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more melted ghee.

7. Let the laddoos cool and set for about 30 minutes before serving.

These Green Gram Laddoos are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a perfect snack for kids' tiffin boxes or a healthy treat anytime! 🌱🍬
