Aliv Laddoo
An Indian sweet made with Aliv/Haleem Seeds- A great winter recipe. Good for children as well as lactating mothers.
Equipment
- Thick Bottomed Pan
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Mixer grinder
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Aliv Seeds
- 1 tbsp Ghee; and a little extra to grease the palms for making Laddoos
- ½ Cup Mixed Nuts Powder
- ¾ Cup Grated Coconut
- 1 Cup Powdered Jaggery
- ⅓ Cup Raisins
Instructions
- Soak the seeds in coconut water for about 2 hours. If you don't have coconut water, soak it in normal water.
- Then, in a pan, heat the ghee. Add jaggery and let it melt completely on low flame.
- When Jaggery melts, add the soaked Aliv seeds, nuts, and grated coconut and mix.
- Cook everything together for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Then add raisins. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a bit.
- While the mixture is still warm, start making the Laddoos. Grease your palms with ghee, and with your palms, roll in the shape of small balls.
- This recipe can make about 15-18 medium-sized laddoos or 25-30 small bite-size laddoos. In winter, I store these laddoos outside (not in the refrigerator) and consume them in about ten days. After 10-12 days, I make a fresh batch again.
