Badam ladoo (Almond ladoo)

By swasthi , on September 1, 2019, 41 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Badam ladoo are healthy & delicious ladoos made of almonds, jaggery, nuts & raisins. With the festive season around, thought of sharing this quick badam laddu recipe. These healthy nutrient dense almond ladoo can be one of the best easy diwali sweets that can be prepared in a jiffy. These badam ladoo are made without any additional fats like ghee, oil or even milk.

Badam ladoo are made often at home for my kids school box. I also make so many other healthy ladoo varieties like ragi ladoo, dry fruits ladoos, peanut ladoo & sesame ladoo.

The method I have followed here can easily be adapted to make healthy ladoos using most kind of nuts like peanuts, pista, peanuts, sesame seeds etc. Healthy fats or oils in the nuts help to bind the badam ladoo without adding any ghee or oil.

The best part is they can be made using jaggery and can be a great inclusion in your kids diet especially if they are under weight.

2. Run the blender.

3. Add the nuts and raisins. Roll the mix to balls when it is warm. You can also add some hot ghee if the mixture doesn’t bind. I did not use ghee. Store badam ladoo in air tight jar.

The sugar ones are very delicate and just break up while eating since there are no added fats to bind the ladoo. But they are great to pop one at a time into your mouth while you are busy. You can add little hot ghee if you wish to.

Tips to make badam ladoo

These can be prepared with any powdered sweetener of your choice like sugar, brown sugar, molasses, palm jaggery , coconut palm jaggery or regular jaggery too.

To make these badam ladoo, you can use blanched almonds or almonds with skin. Almonds are one of my most preferred nuts. Usually I prefer to make my sweet snacks without sugar, ghee and milk as these ingredients do exist in our diet in many other forms.

I made 2 versions of these almond ladoo, one with coconut palm jaggery and the other with sugar. I have used dry coconut (copra) since it is a good source of calcium. It is optional and you can make without coconut too.

Instructions

Badam ladoo (using sugar)

  • Dry roast almonds on a medium flame evenly till you get an aroma. Set this aside to cool. Then dry roast cardamoms and coconut till you get a good aroma. This takes hardly 2 mins. Do not burn or brown it. Set this aside to cool.
  • Powder almonds, coconut and cardamoms in a mixer. Set this aside. Powder sugar finely. Next add the almond coconut powder.
  • Run the mixer till the powder becomes warm. The mixture looks oily at this stage. Add the raisins and nuts.
  • Take small portions of this warm mix and roll them to badam ladoo. If the mix cools up, it will be difficult to roll them, so run the mixer again.
