Make millet laddus
You must have eaten a lot of millet bread in winter. Apart from this, you can make laddus of millet flour. Its nature is very hot, hence eating just one laddu is enough. For this, fry millet flour in ghee on low flame. When it turns light brown and starts smelling, turn off the gas. Now put jaggery as per the quantity of flour in a thick bottom vessel and melt it by adding one or two spoons of water. Mix cardamom powder, dry fruits and some sesame seeds in this jaggery. Mix millet flour in hot jaggery while stirring with a ladle. Apply desi ghee on your hands and make laddus while it is still warm.
Make Linseed Laddu
If one flaxseed laddu is eaten every day, it also protects against cold and cough in winter to a great extent. Make these laddus in small size for children and they can be given one laddu every day. Roast flaxseed and grind it. Now fry makhana, almonds, peanuts, sesame seeds (optional) in some desi ghee and grind all these things coarsely. Melt the jaggery and mix everything together and make laddus.
Desi laddus made of gum and sesame seeds are amazing
In winter, grandmothers used to make laddus of gum, sesame, jaggery and dry ginger. For this, first roast the sesame seeds and crush them. Roast the peanuts, remove their peel and crush them. Fry the gum in mustard oil and crush it. After this melt the jaggery. Add sesame, peanuts and gum to it. Also add ground dry ginger. Make laddus before the mixture cools completely.
