Jaggery, or “gud,” has long been a staple in Indian households, not just for its sweetness but for its incredible health benefits. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains molasses, making it rich in essential minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium. It’s a natural detoxifier, helps improve digestion, boosts energy, and even supports respiratory health.

Whether you use their organic jaggery powder, cubes, or brick, you’re assured of unparalleled quality, taste, and nutrition.

Ingredients:
1 cup roasted peanuts (skin removed)
1/2 cup melted jaggery (from “The Jaggery Company” cubes or brick)
1 tablespoon water (for melting the jaggery)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
Instructions:
1. Roast the Peanuts: Heat a pan and dry roast the peanuts on medium flame until golden and aromatic. Let them cool, then remove the skins by rubbing them between your palms.
2. Melt the Jaggery: In a small pan, add jaggery cubes or a piece of jaggery brick with 1 tablespoon of water. Heat on low flame until the jaggery melts into a smooth syrup. Add cardamom powder for extra flavor.
3. Combine: Add the roasted peanuts to the melted jaggery. Mix well until all the peanuts are evenly coated with the syrup.
4. Shape the Laddoos: While the mixture is warm, grease your hands with ghee or oil and shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Work quickly as the jaggery hardens as it cools.
5. Set: Let the laddoos cool completely to firm up. Store them in an airtight container.
Usage:
1. Use “The Jaggery Company” cubes or brick for a richer flavor, or jaggery powder for convenience.
2. Roast the peanuts lightly for a nuttier aroma and better crunch.
3. If the mixture cools and hardens before shaping the laddoos, warm it slightly to soften.
