Almond oats laddu

Almonds are rich in vitamins and minerals that help build a healthy heart, especially vitamin E. And these little nutrient nuggets are cholesterol free. Since cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, adding almonds to your diet is a great way to keep that risk under control.

Oatmeal is low in saturated fat and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Thiamin, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Manganese.

Split green gram/ Paasi paruppu is high in protein and is considered to be a good diet for weight loss.

Pistachios are more than just delicious, they’re also seriously nutritious. Just one serving offers a variety of different vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

I made this laddu with the combination of these healthy ingredients. It tastes awesome and very healthy sweet too. I am sure that you love this laddu.

Ingredients:

1 cup – Almonds
1/2 cup – Oats (I used instant oats)
1/2 cup – Split green gram/Paasi paruppu
1/4 cup – Pistachios
1/2 to 1 cup – Sugar
4 or 5 nos – Cardamom
2 tbsp – Ghee (hot ghee)

Preparation method:

Heat a pan, dry fry almonds, oats, split green gram and pistachios each separately to a golden brown color. You have to be very careful while frying because it should not get burnt. Allow them to cool.
Grind fried items each separately in a mixer grinder to a smooth powder. Same way grind sugar and cardamom to a smooth paste.
Transfer all ground items to a mixing bowl and mix well. Now heat ghee and add it to the powder and sugar mix. Mix it with a spoon and make small balls (lemon sized)while the heat is endurable(tolerable or bearable).
Now tasty and healthy laddu is ready.This will stay for a week or two if you store it properly in an airtight container.

Notes:

It is important that you have to fry all ingredients properly. You shouldn’t burn any ingredient.
While grinding almond and pistachios you will notice it is little sticky this helps you to make balls properly.
