Sattu Laddu
Sattu Laddu is a nutrient-dense, protein-rich, naturally sweetened snack perfect for summers, weight management (when portion-controlled), or for combating general weakness. It uses roasted sattu, chia seeds, gond katira, and dates to provide energy, aid digestion, and act as a cooling agent for the body. This recipe avoids ghee and refined sugar, making it a healthier alternative to traditional laddus.
