INSTRUCTIONS
How to Make Quinoa Jaggery Laddu Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees to roast the dry quinoa. Spread the quinoa on a baking sheet and line it with parch paper. Keep the oven at 350 F degrees and roast it for 17 minutes. Shake the tray once in the 17 minutes to have an even roasting.
- You can also roast in on a flat-surfaced pan on medium heat until the quinoa starts smelling nutty.
- Once the quinoa is roasted, grind it finely to a powder in a coffee or spice grinder. You can use ready-made quinoa powder as well.
- Heat 1 teaspoon ghee in a pan on medium heat and add your choice of nuts and raisins to it. Stir and fry until the nuts have light golden grown colours and the raisins are all plumped up. Shift them to the bowl of quinoa powder.
- Now, add the jaggery powder, almond flour and cardamom powder to the quinoa powder and mix them well. Use your hands to do the mixing.
- Once the mixture is done, heat the pan again and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add it to the bowl and mix again.
- Add the milk little by little to bind the mixture. Add in little portion to check how much milk you need. Mix all the ingredients together for the last time.
- You can divide the mixture into small portions of 35 gm or you can just take small portions according to your preference.
- Round them up and press them between your palms to form the ladoo. You can just spread a very little amount of ghee on your palms to make the process easier and give the laddos a proper round shape.
- Repeat the process for all the ladoos and your healthy dessert is all set to be served at the table.
