We have eaten sesame laddus, motichoor laddus, gram flour laddus, semolina laddus, but have you ever eaten carrot laddus? Yes, today we are talking about a new, tasty and very nutritious laddu which is carrot-sesame laddu. This laddu is not only delicious in taste, but is also considered excellent in providing energy, warmth and nutrition to the body.
As the winter season approaches, both carrots and sesame seeds are used the most for their nutritional value. Carrots are a good source of vitamin A and fiber, while sesame seeds are rich in calcium and healthy fats. When these two are mixed with the natural sweetness of jaggery, a sweet is prepared which keeps the body warm, purifies the blood and also increases immunity.
Food expert Lalita has told the easiest method of making carrot-sesame laddus. First of all, fresh carrots are washed and peeled. Then they are cut into small pieces and steamed. Due to steaming, the carrots not only become soft but also become sweeter in their natural taste. After this, the steamed carrots are mashed and made into a smooth paste. A soft dough is prepared by mixing two spoons of rice flour in it, which easily holds the shape of laddu.
