Ragi (Finger Millet) Laddu
Ragi Laddu, a traditional Indian sweet, holds a special place in our hearts. Made from the goodness of finger millet (Ragi), this delectable treat is more than just a sweet indulgence. Laddu is a popular sweet from the North Indian cuisine and often made during celebrations & festivals. I made these Ragi laddu recipe from scratch. Indian cuisine has a variety of laddu recipes made with different unique ingredients and cooking methods. I have used almonds but you may add any dryfruits or nuts as per your preferences.
Ragi is renowned for its calcium and iron content, essential for bone health and preventing anaemia. The protein content in Ragi is comparable to rice, making it an excellent choice for muscle repair and weight management. They are a great dessert option and also double up as a nutrient heavy snack for kids. I usually pack one laddu for my 6 year old daughter school snack box.
I love to use ragi flour in most of my dessert recipes. Ragi Pancakes, Ragi Dosa, Ragi Idli Ragi Roti, Ragi Cookies are my go-to everyday breakfast for my family. My daughter calls Ragi pancakes as chocolate pancakes because they look deep brown. You can find many Ragi recipes in my channel.
