They are one of the best healthy Indian sweets for kids and adults too, that can be prepared at any time during festive season or as a snack for your kids school box or as an after school nutrition booster.

Sesame seeds are called as nuvvulu in telugu, ellu in kannada and til in hindi. They are a good source of calcium, Iron, magnesium and many other nutrients. For best absorption of nutrients by the body, sesame seeds must be consumed in ground or powdered form. These ladoos are one of the best and healthy ways to enjoy the seeds in ground form.

There are different varieties of white sesame seeds available in the market. Some taste bitter, so use the best quality ones that taste nutty and fresh without bitterness. You can replace jaggery with dates or coconut sugar or palm jaggery. Each lend a different taste and flavor.

I love to use a fistful of peanuts, you can make variations to this recipe by adding dry roasted desiccated coconut, oats , poppy seeds or cashews and almonds.
