Disha Rajgira Laddu is a traditional Indian sweet made from rajgira (amaranth) seeds, which are known for their rich nutritional profile. This laddu is a popular snack, especially during fasting periods, due to its healthy ingredients and energy-boosting properties. The main ingredients include roasted rajgira seeds, jaggery, and ghee.
The process of making Disha Rajgira Laddu involves roasting the rajgira seeds until they pop, similar to popcorn. The roasted seeds are then mixed with melted jaggery, which acts as a natural sweetener, and a small amount of ghee to bind the mixture. The mixture is shaped into small, round laddus while still warm. The resulting sweet is crunchy, mildly sweet, and has a unique nutty flavor from the rajgira seeds.
Disha Rajgira Laddu is not only delicious but also a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. It’s often enjoyed as a healthy snack or dessert, especially during religious fasting or as a nutritious treat for children and adults alike.
