For someone who is a big-time foodie, it is very difficult to say no to sweets. Desserts are like a weakness for such people. While Lucknow is home to a plethora of kebabs and biryanis from the days of the Nawabs, they also have popular sweet meats in hidden in their treasury. Most Bollywood celebrities are very health conscious and try to keep themselves in shape. They avoid eating junk and sugary food. However, every once in a while, everyone gives in to their cravings. Bipasha Basu is one of them.
She has the persona of a fitness enthusiast who maintains her diet and exercise regime very cautiously. The other side of the coin is that she is a Bengali and a huge foodie. She loves eating her traditional Bengali dishes as much as she enjoys the international fare. From the Valentine’s Day special cakes to this recent sweet treat that arrived at her house, we know that her love for desserts is uncompromised. In the past, she has shared pictures of her husband, Karan Singh Grover cooking for her as well her own cooking experiments. This time it was a surprise package that arrived.
Bipasha Basu’s friends, Ayaz and Jannat, as heard in the audio of the video shared on her story, came over a box of motichoor ladoos for her, all the way from Lucknow. The ladoos look extremely tempting and Bipasha seems confused if she should thank her friends or not because they are making her cheat on her diet. Here is what the ladoos looked like.
Well, if Bipasha can eat some desserts once in a while, so can you. Here are some healthy ladoo recipes for a guilt-free indulgence.
1. Ragi Ladoos
Just like wheat, ragi is a great alternative when it comes to flour. Ragi can also be used in several other dishes like these tasty ladoos made with the goodness of this superfood. Dunked with cashews and almonds, they are rich, healthy and tasty.
2. Flaxseed Greengram Ladoos
The health benefits of flaxseeds are no stranger to us. Add to that the goodness of green grams and you are surely in for a healthy treat. Roll some up ladoos with these two mixtures and you can re-energise yourself each morning by popping in one ladoo.
3. Black Sesame And Oats Ladoos
Oats are a great substitute when it comes to desserts. From kheer and other puddings to halwa and ladoos, you can toss up anything from oats. Fill the oats with some black sesame seeds and your crunchy black ladoos are ready.
