Description

Kodo Millet Laddu (Varagu Laddu) is a traditional Indian sweet made using kodo millet (also known as varagu in Tamil). It is a healthier alternative to regular laddus, as kodo millet is a nutrient-rich, gluten-free grain that is high in fiber, protein, and essential minerals. This laddu is a popular snack or dessert, especially in South India, and is often prepared during festivals or as a nutritious treat for kids and adults alike.

Description:

  • Texture: Soft, crumbly, and slightly chewy.
  • Flavor: Sweet, nutty, and aromatic, with hints of roasted millet and ghee.
  • Appearance: Round, golden-brown balls, often garnished with nuts or edible silver foil (varak).

Key Ingredients:

  1. Kodo Millet (Varagu): The main ingredient, is roasted to enhance its nutty flavor.
  2. Jaggery or Sugar: Used as a sweetener, with jaggery adding a deeper, earthy sweetness.
  3. Ghee (Clarified Butter): Adds richness and helps bind the laddu.
  4. Nuts and Dry Fruits: Cashews, almonds, or raisins are commonly added for texture and flavor.
  5. Cardamom Powder: For a fragrant, aromatic touch.
  6. Coconut (optional): Grated coconut can be added for extra flavor and texture.

Preparation:

  1. The Kodo millet is dry-roasted until aromatic and lightly browned.
  2. It is then ground into a coarse or fine powder, depending on the desired texture.
  3. Jaggery or sugar is melted and mixed with the millet powder, ghee, cardamom, and nuts.
  4. The mixture is shaped into small, round laddus while still warm.
