The Amaranth Energy Ball!

I usually make popped amaranth granola for my breakfast or usually a light snack. But these are quite different from my routine. Since everyone around me is in the Festive Navratri mood, I thought of making Rajgira Laddus. It is a festive delight for sure.

So, what have I used here:

• 10 tablespoons of Roasted Amaranth
• 1/2 cup of chopped nuts & seeds such as almonds, pumpkin seeds & pecan
• 4 tablespoons of honey (or jaggery or an alternative you like)
• 1 tablespoon of cardamom powder for flavor
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Method:

• Spread it out on an oven tray or a pan
• Preheat oven on 120°.
• Add the tray in for 15 to 20 mins, pull it out after 10 minutes to check if the consistency is gooey and thick.
• Let it caramelize until the color becomes golden brown.
• Keep it aside and let it cool.
• Then make small balls out of it.

Then DIG IN!
