Winter may feel pleasant, but it also brings several health challenges. During this season, nature gifts us amla (Indian gooseberry), a powerful superfood rich in Vitamin C. Amla is known to boost immunity, improve hair health, and enhance eyesight. However, due to its astringent and sour taste, many people avoid eating it raw.
To solve this problem, popular YouTuber and social media influencer Poonam Devnani has shared an easy and delicious amla laddoo recipe that removes the bitterness completely. This healthy yet tasty recipe is quickly gaining popularity on social media.
Easy Method to Make Amla Laddoo
Preparation of Amla
First, take 500 grams of fresh, large-sized amlas.
👉 Wash them thoroughly in clean water and wipe them dry.
👉 Grate the amlas using a grater, or chop them and grind coarsely.
Grated amla gives a better texture to the laddoos.
Roasting the Dry Fruits
👉 Heat 1–2 tablespoons of pure desi ghee in a heavy-bottom pan.
👉 Add 15–20 cashews and almonds and roast them on low flame until golden and crunchy.
👉 Remove, let them cool, and then chop or crush them coarsely.
Roasting the Amla (Most Important Step)
👉 In the same pan, add the grated amla to the remaining ghee.
👉 Roast on medium heat while stirring continuously.
👉 This process helps remove the natural bitterness and astringency of amla.
👉 Cook until the excess moisture evaporates and the color changes slightly.
Using Jaggery
👉 Once the amla is well roasted, add ½ cup jaggery powder.
👉 Cook the mixture until the jaggery melts completely and blends well.
Jaggery adds natural sweetness, is rich in iron, and keeps the body warm during winter.
Making the Laddoos
👉 Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
👉 Grease your palms with a little ghee and shape the mixture into small laddoos.
