Why you can consider including these seeds?

They are a rich source of magnesium which is also known as relaxation mineral. Not only that, they offer various other essential nutrients like healthy fats, protein, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and the list goes on…

 

When to have one of these laddus-

  • When you feel hungry during the mid- morning (i.e. between breakfast and lunch)
  • Pre-workout snack
  • Evening snack when a fresh fruit does not suffice, so that would be- a fresh fruit+ 1 laddu
  • When you crave for something sweet, but do not want to gorge on mithai or chocolate

Now that we know how and why to consider trying out these laddus for yourself, let’s have a look at the recipe-

Ingredients:

Sesame seeds (white)- ½ cup

Sunflower seeds- ½ cup

Deseeded brown dates: 200 g

Roasted chana- 1/3 cup

 

Method:

  1. Heat a heavy bottomed pan. Add sesame seeds and dry roast until it turns light golden in color. Transfer them to a dry plate.
  2. Now, add sunflower seeds and dry roast until they start to pop and increase in size. Transfer them to a plate and allow them to cool.
  3. If you are using seeded dates, remove the seeds.
  4. Allow the seeds to cool. Now, add the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and roasted chana to a mixer jar. Grind to a fine powder.
  5. Now, transfer half of the grounded seeds to a plate. Add half the dates to the mixer jar and grind well.
  6. Transfer this mix to a mixing bowl. Grind rest of the ground seed powder along with dates. It will start forming together due to the fat content in seeds.
  7. Now, add this mix to the bowl. Mix all the ground ingredients well and form laddus. You will get 16- 18 laddus from this mixture.

Store well in an air-tight container and keep it in fridge.

These healthy seed laddus are ready to be savored.
