Black Sesame Seed Ladoos

looking for something to fight PCOD, hormonal imbalance, hair thinning and even early greying? Here I bring to you these magical nourishing ladoos that truly care for your body from within.

Black Sesame Seed Ladoos









Ingredients:
• Ghee – 1 tbsp
• Black sesame seeds – ½ cup
• Flax seeds – ¼ cup
• Walnuts – ½ cup
• Pumpkin seeds – ⅓ cup
• Dates – 10–12 (deseeded)

Method:
• Heat ghee in a heavy pan on low flame.
• Add black sesame seeds, flax seeds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds.
• Roast everything together for 3–4 minutes on low flame until aromatic (do not brown too much).
• Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool slightly.
• Add deseeded dates and grind everything into a coarse mixture (pulse, don’t over-grind).
• Take small portions and press tightly to shape into ladoos.
• Let them set for 10–15 minutes before storing.

Tips:
• If the mixture feels dry, add 1–2 extra soft dates or 1 tsp warm ghee.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days at room temperature.
• Perfect as an iron-rich, omega-loaded snack.
