10-min Magaz aur Til Ke Laddu | No Syrup, No Jaggery, No Ghee

Magaz - What is that ?

Magaz seeds or Muskmelon seeds are harvested from fully ripe Muskmelons and dried. Much like Pumpkin seeds used here in these Morning Glory Muffins or Sunflower seeds, these are a vital source of nutrition and is B6 and Riboflavin rich. Seeds in general provide that boost in nutrition, especially for vegans and vegetarians. Til (sesame) seeds are selenium-rich Sesame seeds that provide high calcium to growing up kids. They are rich in calories though (Almost 600 calories in 1 cup of Watermelon seeds),so weight-watchers need to use them in moderation.

As moms and caregivers ,we are continually looking for various means to boost kids' eating habits, right? These nutrient-rich laddus are a sure shot way of ensuring their macros are taken care of. Magaz seeds combined with plant based sesame and organic jaggery makes this gluten free, vegan snack healthy.

How can I customise these Magaz Til Laddu?

• Add roasted nuts powdered and adjust jaggery powder accordingly
• Make with only Til (sesame) or Magaz if needed
• Add Dates / Organic Cane Sugar in place of Jaggery as a sweetener
• Use black sesame seeds for a nuttier and more nutrient rich laddu.

Tips to make the BEST Magaz Til Laddu

• Make with the freshest batch of Seeds (both magaz and Til are heat sensitive so make these as soon as you buy a batch) and use fine quality jaggery
• Dry roast both the seeds for just 10-15 seconds (till they pop) and then use them in the steps indicated.
• Use Grated or powdered Paagu jaggery (pic shown below) to make this laddu, else they will crumble and become hard on cooling. if using the normal Achchu Vellam (rock jaggery), it will become brittle and you may need ghee or milk to bind which alters the taste and shelf life for these laddus.
• Pulse the seeds in pulse mode in mixer, else it will become nut butter.
• Roll into laddus when the mixture is still warm. Give it slight pressure with your palms so the seeds release the oils helping you shape them. Cold mixture may need milk or ghee to bind them.
