Dry fruits- gaund/ dink - ladoos / laddus for prgnancy
Dry fruits ladoo

Winters have started and many people make tasty nutritious dry fruits ladoos during this season. Ayurveda suggests that, in winter, we should consume food considered warm in Ayurveda parlance. Dry fruits laddus with gond (dink /gaund /edible gum) or any form of dry fruits recipe are generally made during winter season in almost all parts of India. Urad dal dryfruits recipe is made in gujrath and Punjab . Gujarathis called this recipe as adiya & Punjabis called it as pinni. There is a little variation in both recipe but the key ingredients are generally the same. Some pinni recipes are made from only whole wheat flour but many people add urad dal and whole wheat flour in there pinni recipeAddiya is made with urad dal only. Maharashtrians also make gond ladoo using whole wheat flour they call it Dinkache ladoo. I have added all the good ingredients from both these recipes and made these healthy dryfruits laddus for winters.

 I have used both Gheu ka atta (whole wheat flour) and Urad dal (black split grams) for making. Urad dal has lots of health benefits – it increases the moistness of body tissues, good for joint pain and muscle pain, helps in easy bowel movement. This dal is difficult to digest so it is generally consumed during winters. Benefits of dryfruits, Urad dal and Whole wheat flour make this ladoo very nutritious. I have also added gond (gaund/ dink) in this ladoo. Many people add gond in laddos made for winters. Gond or dink is also added in methi ladoo. Gond is consumed in winters as it generates heat in the body.

I hope you will enjoy this recipe. This recipe requires little more efforts than my other recipes but you will enjoy the final product. Kids love these laddus and they are very nutritious for everyone. Have a glass of milk with this laddu in morning breakfast during winters. This laddus are also very healthy and nutritious for lactating mothers after pregnancy as they help in the production of milk and helps to streghthen the back bone. You can make these laddus from both jaggery and sugar. I have explained both the recipes with step by step procedure, still if you have any queries, leave a comment.
