Urad Dal Laddu – Best Winter Food and Great for Women
Urad Dal Laddu is the best homemade dessert for winter cravings and this traditional laddu is prepared at many homes during winter as a regular custom. This easy-to-prepare homemade laddu comes with several amazing health benefits too. Urad Dal contains a high amount of iron, calcium and magnesium. Urad Dal is rich in protein, carbohydrates and fats making it the best weight gaining food too. This heart-healthy lentil also helps ease digestion process, great for skin and boosts energy.
One is advised to take this Laddu during Pregnancy as it assists fetal brain growth, prevents anemia, fills in for the protein requirement and makes for a great energy booster. Girls during puberty and lactating mothers can have this too. Urad Dal Laddu is famously called Sunnundalu in Andhra. I’ve used Organic Palm Jaggery from Tots & Moms Foods to make this recipe more healthier.
