The Making of The Ragi & Walnut Ladoo

The short answer: The Ragi & Walnut ladoo is a millet ladoo: 30.4% ragi (finger millet) flour, blended with walnuts, cashews, almonds, jaggery and ghee, then hand-rolled. It is sweetened by dates and jaggery and is the lightest ladoo in the collection at about 74 kcal.

Ragi has been part of everyday nourishment in Indian kitchens for generations; this ladoo carries that tradition forward.

What is ragi, and why does it belong in a ladoo? Ragi is finger millet, a grain long cherished in South Indian kitchens. Our label puts it simply: ragi for roasted, earthy warmth. Roasted, it turns earthy and sweet-smelling, which is exactly what a ladoo needs.

What is in it besides ragi? Walnuts (Kashmiri, 3.8%), cashews and California almonds make up the "three nuts". Roasted chana dal adds nutty body, dry ginger adds warmth, jaggery sweetens, and ghee carries the tradition. Walnuts are the accent, not the base; ragi is the star.

How is a millet ladoo different from a traditional ladoo? Many traditional ladoos lean on refined sugar and refined flour. This one leans on millet flour and jaggery, keeping the old ghee-roasted comfort with a nourishing twist.

How is it made? Roasting builds the character. We refine proportions and roast for depth, then roll every ladoo by hand in small batches. \[Optional founder note: how you roast the ragi\]

How does it taste? Nutty, warm and roasted, like the smell of a kitchen at its best.
