    Winters are perfect time to munch on the healthy homemade Til Ladoo. Til or sesame are nutrition-packed seeds and since they are hot in nature, it's totally fine to have them in winters.

    healthy alsi til jaggery ladoo

    Alsi Til Ladoo or Ellu Unde is a winter recipe of sweet balls made using a blend of sesame and flax seeds with jaggery syrup and without ghee or any refined sugar. Its an ideal way to keep one warm when temperature dips.

    A traditional recipe of many which has travelled across generations and I believe it's loved by all. The only thing which might have changed is the family size. If we go back by 30 years, we had large family sizes and there were many hands contributing to so many tasks.

    Making ladoo used to be a game for kids and now its a big thing for one women handling multi-tasks.

    This easy, quick and healthy recipe of Til ke Ladoo is for all those who feel its tough and are forced to buy market stuff.

    Ingredients Overview

    This recipe involves primarily three ingredients:

    1. Sesame Seeds
    2. Flax seeds
    3. Jaggery
    4. Wheat flour (optional)

    I have also flavoured it with Anjeer (Fig). One can also add Peanuts, dry fruits, cardamom. Wheat flour is for binding if needed.

    If you skip the wheat flour, these laddos can be consumed during navratri or ekadashi vrat. These til ladoos are commonly made on Makar Sankranti and from traditional Andhra cuisine.

    I have used white sesame seeds and have roasted them on low flame. If you use unhulled light brown sesame seeds, they can be slightly bitter.

    For the flax seeds, I have used FabIndia product as it was gifted to me and I was waiting for winters to arrive to use it. You may take any brand of your choice. For jaggery, I always use Dhampur Gud.

    Nutrition In Til Gud Ladoos

    Both flax seeds and sesame seeds are essential for bone health and are rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamin E, iron, fiber and healthy fats.

    Flax seeds high in fiber and omega 3-fatty acids brings a complete health quotient for you. The reason to choose jaggery over refined sugar is that jaggery is one of the rich source of Iron and perfect for winters.

    When you touch 35+, you realize that you have pain in back or your knees make crack sound when you use stairs. The reason is lack of healthy fat from our body and both these seeds are natural lubricant for joints.

    Since these seeds are high in healthy fats, I skipped adding desi ghee. One may always add ghee as per convenience.

    These alsi ke laddu become a source of intake of these seeds. If I ask you to have flax seed or til daily, you will somehow miss it. I know its tough to have something which is healthy but not tasty.

    Can these Til Ladoos help lose weight?

    Yes, if you stop at one! So have one ladoo daily with your breakfast and it will keep you full for longer. You don't have to stuff yourself with packaged foods.

    Few claim that flaxseed consumption over long time helped them have a flat stomach/belly!

    The best way is to make whole lot of these ladoos and keep them in a jar and remove all other processed foods from your pantry. When your line of sight would have just one option, you will take it!

    Recipe Tips for busy people

    With world fighting a tough battle with Covid, we are battling at home with multi-tasks.

    Being in home isolation for around nine months, its a big deal for most of us.

    If you think you cant get enough time for these ladoos or you are a beginner, then I would suggest you to roast seeds, blend them in jar when just warm. Add jaggery also in jar for blending means no syrup.

    healthy alsi til jaggery ladoo

    Have it as a churma. Making balls with jaggery syrup is a tough thing as its to be done while mixture is hot and not everyone can do that easily.

    The other simpler way is to roast both sesame and flax seeds and keep them in a jar and sprinkle them on salads or soups. Grind them in a paste and add 2 teaspoon in any vegetable daily.

    Can these be Gluten-Free?

    I have added little wheat flour to help me bind the mixture. If you want to make these til ladoos free of gluten, you may skip the wheat flour or replace by Ragi / buckwheat flour/ besan.

    Just remember to roast the flour on a low flame just like seeds.

    Tips for roasting seeds

    Its better to roast seeds separately and mix later.

    While roasting, keep the flame low and take a heavy kadai.

    You would know that seeds are roasted when they crack.

    Flaxseeds are slightly bitter, so make sure to roast till they make crack sound. It takes around 5-10 min.

    Stories from Kitchen

    Making Ladoos is nothing new to me. I started with Besan ladoo and its surely an easy thing. My mother-in-law was an expert when it comes to food.

    I remember her til ladoo which she used to make on makar sankranti and trust me upon this never had anything so delicious like that ever.

    Its her belief in me that I could think of creating a log of our family recipes. This recipe is inspired by her sister (my husband's Mausi) and her quick tips made it really easy to make these ladoos.

    Infact, the churma of the blended mixture of seeds was her idea.

    I was telling my daughter that this compilation and hard-work of creating recipes is for her so that with time our precious recipes are not lost.

    Sharing them with my users is a pleasure too.

    Detailed Recipe with Steps

    1)Gather all the ingredients: seeds, gud, wheat flour, anjeer (chopped in uneven chunks). Heat heavy Kadai and roast flaxseeds on low flame. They will make a crack sound. Till then keep sautéing in between. It takes about 5-10 min max.

    Once done, take them out and in same kadai, roast sesame (til) seeds on low flame. Once they become light brown take them out. They take lesser time around 4 min max.

    Note: This is a tough step as it involves adding hot jaggery solution to ground mixture and its recommended to make ladoos right away else they don't take shape later. Request you to be very careful while doing this step.

    5) Grease your palms with ghee and take lemon-sized portion from the mixture and make a ball. Keep doing it while the mixture is hot.

        Thanks Deepti! Yes, you may skip wheat flour but then binding the til and alsi would be slightly difficult. You may use any other gluten free flours like besan or ragi.
