GOOSEBERRY SESAME SEEDS LADOO (AMLA TIL LADOO)

Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, is a super healthy fruit that is abundantly available during winter. Indian gooseberry is a rich source of vitamin C, iron, fiber, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and antioxidants. These nutrients make amla a super nutritious fruit that we should consume more in any form we like. Sesame seeds, as we know, are rich in calcium and iron. Here, I have prepared ladoos using amla and sesame seeds as key ingredients.

_Preparation Time:_ 20 minutes
_Cooking Time:_ 20 minutes
_Makes:_ 10-12 ladoos

Ingredients:

– 250 grams amlas

– 150 grams jaggery (grated or sliced)

– 1/2 cup sesame seeds

– 1/4 cup almond powder

– 1/4 cup cashew powder

– 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

– 1 teaspoon cardamom powder

Method:

1. Wash and steam cook the amla for 15 minutes.

2. Once cooled slightly, remove the seeds and grind into a fine paste.

3. In a thick-bottomed pan, combine the amla pulp and jaggery.

4. Cook over medium-low flame, stirring and scraping the sides continuously, until the mixture thickens like a mass. Then, turn off the heat.

5. Once the mixture cools completely, add almond, cashew, and cardamom powder. Mix well. Then, add 1/4 cup sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. Mix well.

6. Grease your palms with ghee, take a small portion of the mixture, and roll it into a crack-free ball. Then, roll it in sesame seeds. Continue with the rest of the mixture and sesame seeds.

7. Our healthy and delicious ladoos are ready
