I know that ragi is good for health and is a rich source of calcium and iron, but somehow I can't make much use of it and whenever I buy it, it ends up lying in my kitchen waiting for its turn. But I found this great recipe using ragi and oats and making some changes to it I made these laddos. I tried best to keep it healthy so skipped the sugar and used dates instead. They turned out well and not to mention the goodness of dates,oats and ragi.
Here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup ragi flour
1 cup oats
50 grams almonds
1 cup dates(seedless)
dessicated coconut - 50 grams
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tablespoon
Ghee - 2 tablespoon
Milk to grind the dates - about 1/4 cup
Recipe:
Soak half of dates in milk for around 30 minutes. Dry roast the oats on a pan for 10 minutes.
Let them cool and then grind in mixer. Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a pan and roast the ragi flour. Now here you need to be a little patient as this is takes most of the time :). This will take around 15 minutes . Remove the roasted ragi from pan, add 1 table spoon ghee and roast the ground oats for 10 minutes. Crush the almonds and add to oats to roast them.
Grind the soaked dates into a paste. Roughly chop the remaining dates.
Heat the pan again and add the roasted ragi flour, oats, almonds, date paste, cardamom powder, coconut together to mix well. Switch off the gas and let it cool a bit so that you can bind the laddos while its still warm.
Enjoy them guilt free anytime!
