Ragi Ladoo | Healthy ragi ladoo with popped ragi and jaggery
A healthy and nutritious ladoo with popped ragi,coconut and jaggery
Ragi ladoo is a delicious and easy to make sweet dish with ragi/finger millet,grated coconut and jaggery solution. It is a common traditional sweet of south india. Ragi is a very healthy and calcium rich cereal which is good equally for both kids and adults. Usually we make ragi ladoo with ragi flour. But here I tried a new method made ladoo with popped ragi(dry roast). This will give a nice aroma and crunchiness to the ladoo. Few days back I have posted rava ladoo with jaggery which is also a very tasty and easy to make sweet. I would like to share some sweet recipes like maa laddu/ pottukadala laddu,Wheat flour laddu,ragi laddu,sweet mixute with carrot and coconut,milk chocolate pudding,sooryakala,sweet paniyaram
