    About this recipe

    Moringa is considered as Nature's best ever multivitamin. Its regular practice in India , to eat dry fruits atta ladoo during winter. Hence I created this recipe to get all health benefits of moringa with goodness of healthy fats ( dry fruits and nuts ) and finger millet flour.

    I knew it will be good and is healthy too. But after eating this regularly for 24 days , I saw noticeable changes in quality of my skin and hair. And was very filling and I had no food cravings . No hype here , as I have said in my video , moringa energy balls can be your new alternative has a health supplement.

    What is Moringa ?

    In India , Moringa Oleifera tree is called as Drumstick tree . Moringa Leaves , flowers and pods are edible parts of this tree. Compared to Moringa pods (Drumsticks) , moringa leaves contains myriad of nutrients and antioxidants. It's just not a hype , roughly moringa oleifera contains around 92 nutrients and 46 antioxidants .

    Moringa leaves provide a powerful punch of nutrition and have an anti-inflammatory nature. Their antioxidative properties combined with their cellular-health protective properties make them a new ‘superfood’.

    They suppress the production of inflammatory enzymes and lower sugar levels. Make these a regular part of your diet to reap rich health benefits.

    If you don't like to consume moringa in form of sweet ladoo , you can add in your diet as Moringa Tea

    Pro Tips and Variations

    • Moringa Powder - has a strong pungent smell , if you find it overpowering then reduce the measurement to ¼ cup .
    • For Vegan version - use coconut oil instead clarified butter / ghee
    • Jaggery or coconut sugar or honey can be used for extra sweetening. Though dry fruits are used , I insist to use small amount of jaggery . This helps to bind the ladoo's well making the energy bites more tasty.
    • Again using desssicated coconut is optional but it enhances the taste and gives a good taste at a very first bite. As moringa powder makes the laddo mildly bitter to taste when rolled in dessicated coconut , it can be overcome to some extent.

    Nutrition of Moringa Oleifera

    • Rich in Vitamins and Minerals : Moringa leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 and Folate. Moringa is a iron rich food, as it also rich in Vit C and Vit B , it helps in absorption of Iron.
    • Rich in Amino Acids : Moringa leaves are rich in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
    • Fights Inflammation : Moringa leaves are anti-inflammatory in nature due to the presence of isothiocyanates.
    • Rich in Antioxidants : Anti-oxidative properties of moringa protect sagainst the damaging effects of free radicals. Vitamin C and beta-carotene act against free radicals.

    Health Benefits

    Good for the Stomach - Moringa leaves are beneficial against digestive disorders. Helpful for those suffering with constipation, bloating, gas, gastritis and ulcerative colitis.

    Improves Bone health - Moringa leaves are rich sources of calcium and phosphorus. These elements maintains good bone health , fights against osteoporosis and arthritis.

    Improves Lactation - Moringa is very rich in calcium and all other nutrients hence moringa leaves are used to improve lactation in nursing mothers.

    Helps in Weight Management : Moringa leaves increase fat burning in the body. They reduce cravings for food and boost metabolism. They also lower cholesterol.

    Good for Skin and Hair : Due to an abundance of antioxidants and nutrients, moringa leaves improve the health and appearance of skin and hair. They add suppleness to the skin and shine to the hair. The antioxidants present in moringa leaves reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles on the skin.

    Good for Detoxification : Moringa leaves are natural cleansers and help to detoxify the system. This helps to keep the body and increases immunity against various infections. They also increase the energy levels in the body. Source : Pharmeasy

    Step by step directions to make Moringa Ladoo

    Soak dry figs and dates in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes.

    Heat 1 tablespoon of Ghee/ Clarified Butter in a pan , add ¼ cup of ragi flour (finger millet flour) and roast till fragrant.

    Add ⅓ cup of moringa powder, mix well and continue to roast for 3-4 minutes on a low flame. Moringa has a strong henna/ matcha like smell.

     Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside till use.

    In the same pan, add all dry nuts and roast till fragrant.

    Lastly add, dry coconut and roast, when it turns aromatic, turn off the stove. Let this cool down

    Transfer to a blender/ mixer jar and blend to a coarse powder.

    Now remove soaked dry figs and dates from water, add to blender. Along with it add raisins

    and blend to a smooth paste.

    To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of Ghee/ clarified butter. Now tip ground dry fruits paste, stir and cook well on medium heat till water dries up. Dry fruits paste forms a mass and becomes hard to stir, at this point regulate flame to simmer.

    Add in dry nut powder , roasted ragi /finger millet flour and cardamom powder.

    Mix well everything , add 1 tablespoon of ghee/ clarified butter and mix.

    Moringa Ladoo

    Now taste the mixture and adjust the sweetener. This depends on the sweetness of fid, dates and raisins used. So amount of jaggery may vary depending on the sweetness of the dry fruits used. I used ⅓ cup of jaggery powder.

    Moringa Ladoo

    On simmer mix well everything , till  jaggery melts completely. Turn off the stove

    Moringa Ladoo

    When the mixture is still warm , bind into small balls .

    Moringa Ladoo

    And roll in desiccated coconut. Though rolling in desiccated coconut is completely optional , I would insist as the very first bite into the ladoo may overpower the taste with flavours of Moringa.

    Moringa Ladoo

    Store in a air tight container and eat as and when required.

    Notes

    • As an alternative to jaggery can also use Coconut Sugar
    • Always taste and adjust the sweetner as sweetness from dry fruits varies from different quality
    • Can also little clarified butter / ghee while binding into balls.
    • Bind the mixture into balls when its still warm , as there is no much sugar syrup / jaggery syrup is used to hold on to shape.
