Vegan Amaranth, Dates and Almond Laddoo

This recipe for Amaranth laddoo is nothing like the traditional one. It has only 3 main ingredients: amaranth, dates and almonds! It is soft and sticky with a little bit of bite from the amaranth and crunch from the almonds. I have used just dates for sweetening so it’s refined sugar free!It’s quick and easy to make and is a perfect dessert option especially for those who cannot consume much sugar, diabetics etc.
Include them in your or your children’s lunch box.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place 1/2 cup amaranth and 1 1/2 cups of water in a pan. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes. When the amaranth has absorbed a little bit of water and looked slightly cooked, add the finitely chopped dates. Continue to cover and cook for another 5 minutes adding more water if required.

When the amaranth is cooked to the desired softness, add the cardamom powder and oil and cook it in medium heat for everything to come together with most water dried up. Add the chopped and powdered almonds; mix well and turn off the heat.
- 3
Let the mixture cool completely. Grease your palms with a little bit of oil, take small bits of the sweet amaranth mixture, roll it between your palms to make little balls.
- 4
It’ll be very soft and sticky so take care while handling it. Decorate them with small pieces of almonds. You can serve them right away or let them chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for all the flavors to develop well.

Indian Sweet Laddu Indian Sweet Laddu
This is an Indian confection that's often depicted in pictures of Hanuman and Ganesh. These are made very sweet in India, but I've decreased the amount of sugar and added a dash of rock salt to better suit a Japanese taste.For some reason, they go very well with very sweet chai.It will taste more genuine if you make your own cardamon powder by grinding whole green cardamons (shelled) with a mortar and pestle.You can get besan (gram flour) from Indian grocery stores. Apart from this dish, it is used for dishes like pakora (Indian fried vegetables). Recipe by Go-pa-ra cookpad.japan -

No-cook Roasted split gram laddu | Putani hittina laddu No-cook Roasted split gram laddu | Putani hittina laddu
I'm celebrating!What you ask?!There are so many reasons... Where do I start?! The weekend gone by was really special in many ways.It's been a year since I've been on a low sugar diet. Except for straying from the diet paste couple of months(...blame it on the mango season), followed very religiously and the results have been rewarding. It was a cousin's first wedding anniversary. My best wishes to the happy couple. 💕 Yeah, the same guy during whose wedding, I ate so many desserts that I decided to quit sugar from the very next day! That was the best decision I made in terms of dieting.I crossed a milestone on my blog ... 50 blogs in a span of less than three months. Not that I was keeping a count... WordPress tells me so. Best of all, it was my sister's birthday. The best big sister one could ask for! We have so many memories together and one of those happens to be making these super duper delicious, quick and no cook putani hittina laddus (roasted split gram laddus) whenever we craved for something sweet..Roasted Chana Dal is also called as daria dal, roasted split gram, puffed gram, phutana, pappulu / putanalu pappulu in telugu, putani / hurigadale in kannada. Roasted gram is rich in manganese, folate, protein, dietary fiber, copper, phosphorous and iron..Follow me onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordPress - http://theredplatechronicles.home.blog The Red Plate Chronicles -
