Chaulai ke Ladoo | Amaranth seeds Ladoo

Chaulai ke Ladoo is sweet popped amaranth seeds balls made using jaggery and are very healthy and tasty sweet treat plus super easy to make.

What are Amaranth seeds?

Amaranth seeds aka chaulai are protein-packed, calcium-rich and high fiber grains so versatile to use in any form.  So being a super grain I love using the amaranth seeds in my kitchen.

So one of my favorite dish that I love making with amaranth is this ladoo, it is super easy to make if you get passed through the popping part.

When we were kids my mom used to make this ladoo for most of the festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, Rakhi or Sankranti and we would devour as many as we could on the same day.

Basic Ingredients for Ladoo:

There are only two basic ingredients to make chaulai ke ladoo are listed below.

  • Firstly, Amaranth seeds-The first and the main ingredient is, of course, amaranth seeds.
  • Sweetener-Sugar or jaggery any one of it would do.

How to make chaulai ladoo?

The process of making chaulai ke ladoo is very simple, you just need to pop the amaranth seeds and that’s it. After that just cook the jaggery to the right consistency and add the popped amaranth seeds.

Use water to wet your palms and make the ladoo while the mixture is still warm.

Serving Suggestions:

There is nothing you need to serve the ladoos with but if you would like to try them with warm milk or in fact tea.
