FAQS

  1. How do I make energy ladoos for strong bones and a healthy gut?

    To make energy ladoos, start by dry roasting almonds and cashew nuts for 2 minutes on medium heat. Then, add melon, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, cooking for another minute. Continue by adding the remaining seeds and roasting for 3-4 minutes until moisture evaporates. Cool and grind to a coarse powder. Roast black chana for a minute and dry roast fox nuts with cardamom powder until crisp. Melt pitted dates in ghee, then mix in Desi khand powder and the dry fruit mixture. Finally, add honey and shape into ladoos.

  2. Are these ladoos gluten-free and suitable for specific diets?

  3. What can I substitute for pitted dates in the ladoo recipe?

    If you don't have pitted dates, you can substitute them with dried figs or prunes, as they provide similar sweetness and texture. Alternatively, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar, but you may need to adjust the quantity to achieve the desired consistency.

  4. How should I store energy ladoos to keep them fresh?

    To keep your energy ladoos fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, where they will last for about two weeks. Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste.
