Fresh Navratan Ladoo 1kg

Description

Navratan Ladoo are spherical sweets made with nuts and dried fruits held together by a sugar syrup or condensed milk base.They get their name from ‘navratna’ meaning nine gems, referring to the nine different nuts and dried fruits used in the recipe – almonds, pistachios, cashews, raisins, cranberries, dates, figs, walnuts, and dried apricots.To make them, the nuts and fruits are finely chopped and stirred together with condensed milk until a dough forms. The dough is then shaped into balls or laddus.Sometimes the ladoo is coated with roasted coconut flakes or sprinkled with cardamom powder. Saffron strands are also commonly added for both flavor and vibrant color.Navratan laddus have a crunchy, nutty texture contrasted by the chewy dried fruits. The condensed milk binds everything together and provides sweetness.These colorful, nutty sweets are popular at festivals like Diwali. They have a long shelf life and make for a filling, energy-dense snack. They are a delicious way to get multiple nutrients from nuts and dried fruits.
