    Oats laddu

    Atta ke laddoo or Pinni is a rich and tasty Indian sweet. I have grown up eating it. It is a nut ladoo which is a traditional recipe. Making oats laddu with jaggery is our take on it. Adding oatmeal or jau to atta pinni, improves the nutrients in food. Also, We have made the Oats laddu recipe with jaggery so it has no added refined sugar to it. However, you can make this with same amount of sugar too. This  is one of the easiest of recipes when you want to eat something sweet. Yet it is healthy.

    Festivals especially, Diwali is a time when we gorge on sweets. However, we feel guilty about eating too many of them. Actually we should not. Sweets were made with nuts and ghee in the olden days to help avoid dryness of skin and hair in the winter. Diwali usually falls in Oct end or November. Days start getting colder and you need extra energy to keep warm. Eating them in moderation is not bad. If you are very particular, make sure you exercise. Making oats and dry fruit ladoo makes you stay regular on your oatmeal intake and yet enjoy the sweet celebrations. Jaggery and nuts both help increase iron in body too. It is a great recipe when winter sets in as weather tends to go cooler. Adding such ingredients to your diet helps improve immunity and body heat.
