Ingredients used for making flax seed almond ladoo
Flax seeds: Roasting the flax seeds before making powder gives nice aroma and removes raw taste. For this recipe I’m using brown flax seeds but any flax seeds works just fine.
Almonds: Whole almonds are roasted and then made into powder. For full nutrition absorption, try soaked and sun dried almonds which are available in market or you can make easily at home.
Sesame seeds: When sesame seeds are roasted and pulverized, they absorb a lot better. Most of the South Indian dishes add sesame powder to dishes for enhancing the flavors.
Jaggery: Using a good quality organic jaggery adds a ton of health benefits. Avoid jaggery which contains sulphur on label.
Cardamom powder: It enhances the dish and adds flavor to sweet dishes.
