Ragi Oats Ladoo

For this week theme on BM I'm presenting "All about Millets". Enjoy the dishes & don't miss the update. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 42.


Ragi Oats Ladoo is a healthy & nutritious sweet dish. I made this little balls of goodness as a after work out snack & enjoyed it very well. Ragi flour & oats make a delicious combo of ladoo's. This dish can be made just with ragi flour, but the taste & texture are not my favorite. For the feel & bite in ladoo I added coarsely grind oats. Enjoy this healthy dish.

*** Store ladoo's in a airtight container.
Note
- Replace brown sugar with white sugar or jaggery. - - If using white sugar the quantity remains the same. 
- In case of jaggery you have increase it to 1Cup whole equal to the flour mix. 
- Dipping ladoo in ghee can me omitted, if you are watching your diet. 
- Storing ladoo's in airtight container will keep them fresh & ladoo's won't get hard.
