Ingredients for Dry fruit & Coconut Ladoo :
Freshly Grated Coconut———-I love coconut and this is an integral part of our daily cooking .
Cashews—–Cashews are known to be low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein.
Almonds——-These are known to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and are packed with vitamin E, magnesium and potassium
Organic Jaggery——–Great alternative to refined sugar. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium.
Saffron—- An exotic spice and optional to use.
Ghee —-Helps to keep the ladoo moist ,delicious and good to bind.
Coconut Cream ——–Gives a rich taste to the ladoo.
