Roti Ka Laddoo

Many times in the kitchen we end up having extra rotis by the end of the meal. Why not use those to make an interesting and easy to make sweet-dish? Here's the recipe of roti laddoo which is an instant and healthy recipe to charge your day!


Roti's or phulka's as we call them has a low glycemic index. It is rich in vitamin B, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. It is made from whole wheat flour mixed with water so when it is roasted, it's dehydrated which increases the shelf life. People allergic to gluten can opt for other millets like jowar, bajra, ragi which are healthier alternatives. It has many health benefits and is one of the healthiest things to consume when hungry.


It’s a great preworkout meal, and I have it before an intense workout like a long run. It give the right amount of carbs and sugar to kick start an intense workout.

Ingredients:
6 roti's
3 tbsp crushed jaggery
2 tbsp ghee(melted)
1.5 tbsp chopped almonds (optional)
1/8 tsp cardamom powder (optional)

1. Take leftover rotis / chapathis, tear it roughly. Transfer to a dry mixer jar.
2. Add jaggery, grind to a coarse mixture. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
3. Add ghee, chopped almonds and cardamom powder. Mix it well.
4. Take the mixture press, hold tight and shape them as laddoos. Repeat to finish the mixture.

Makar literally means "Capricorn" and Sankranti is the day when the Sun changes it's position from one sign of the Zodiac to the other. Even though Sankranti comes every month, in the month of Magha (January) it is considered especially auspicious as it coincides with the harvest season and marks the end of the winter season.
