#jaggery
Rajgira or ramdana laddoos
Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium.
It helps boost resistance against infections, hence building stronger immunity.
Rajgira is full of iron and fibres hence these laddoos are delicious and healthy.
Jaggery acts as a natural sweetener and provides energy over an extended period of time.
Ghee is used only for greasing hands or even that can be avoided
