{Recipe}Ragi ladoo / Finger millet Laddu

Ragi or finger millet, you all are aware of its health benefits and i don't think i have to give further details  on it.

Its been in our diet from ages but because of its colour or flavour kids or even adults don’t like it. But as we see these days how modern food impacting our health so its beneficial that we redirect to basic food which is commonly available and so inexpensive as compared to junk food.

In early life Ragi was only used to prepare rotis or porridge.  But, today you have countless recipes, you can add ragi to any recipe and make the dish healthy. Name it Ragi dosa, idly, ragi poha,ragi cakes,cookies, in Goa we prepare dodol, Tizzan and the ragi recipes don’t stop here. So lately i make sure to add ragi in my diet regularly. Perhaps came up with this idea of ragi ladoo..

Gluten free, sugar free & and oil free Ragi ladoo...Super healthy for your kids and also Adults. Hungry tummy? just grab two and eat it rather grabbing chips or other junk food. You can see in pic my little one picking  and elder one munching

Its been a month i got ingredients either to prepare dry fruit ladoo or ragi ladoo ,but after enquiring with my mum, my aunties i got idea about mixing the ingredients. Wanted to use jaggery but instead of jaggery used soft dates ,raisins and peanuts for stickiness and binding. While surfing you tube also got to know how dates or raisins can be used for binding instead of jaggery or ghee . And actually  flour nicely gets incorporated with dates , raisins and peanuts .

Servings 25-30
Total preparation Time : 1 hour

Ingredients
1 cup  of Ragi flour
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup of soft dates
1 cup of soft raisins
6 Cardamom
1/2 Inch cinnamon

Step wise method
1. Slightly roast the ragi/finger millet flour for 3 -5 minutes on slow flame and make sure you keep stirring it.This roasting method is to cut down the raw smell of Ragi.

2. Di seed the dates and cut half.Add it to mixer jar along with raisins and peanuts. Also add cardamom pearls n cinnamon to the jar. Grind it coarsely .

  3.To Mixer jar add ragi flour and grind all ingredients together. 

4.Once you see all incorporated well,remove it in bowl.Nicely knead the mixer and make round ladoo.

6.Once ladoo done store it in steel container or a glass container.At room temperature can be store up-to 2 weeks and for more you can store in refrigerator.

7.Healthy bite size power pack ladoo's are ready for your growing kids and your hardworking family:)
