Methi ladoo, also known as fenugreek seed ladoo, is a traditional Indian sweet treat with a unique combination of flavors. These ladoos are made from fenugreek seeds (methi), which are roasted and ground, then mixed with other ingredients to form small, round balls or ladoos.
To make methi ladoo, fenugreek seeds are first dry roasted until fragrant and slightly browned. Then, they are ground into a fine powder. This powder is mixed with powdered sugar, ghee (clarified butter), nuts such as almonds or cashews, and aromatic spices like cardamom. The mixture is then rolled into small balls and allowed to set.
Methi ladoo is believed to have medicinal properties and is often consumed during winters or postpartum periods to boost immunity and promote lactation. The bitterness of fenugreek seeds is balanced by the sweetness of sugar and the richness of ghee, resulting in a delightful and nutritious treat enjoyed by people of all ages.
