Bajra & Nuts Ladoo

Bajra & Nuts Ladoo, a healthy combination of bajra / kambu and nuts (almonds, cashew & cashew) in cute little ladoo. The whole mixture is bound together with ghee / clarified butter. I have used organic buffalo milk ghee. The ghee smells so good and you can feel its rich aroma in every bite of this ladoo. There is no other perfect alternative to ghee when its about indian sweets. 

Instead of bajra grains, you can try with bajra flour or any other millet flour. You can replace palm jaggery with dates or country sugar / naatu sakkarai. You can prepare 15 ladoo with the below mentioned quantity. Roasted bajra grains and nuts mixture gives nutty flavor. Other dry fruits & nuts with which you can try are walnuts, apricots, raisin, black raisin, etc. Similarly, you can also try adding sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds etc.. to make it more healthy.
