It is that time of the year when we avoid drinking cold water, ice-creams and milkshakes and adopt some ‘winter foods’ and why not, these foods have always kept as warm and cozy. When I talk about my family, we have a set of laddoos for each problem. Not just me but almost every other Indian knows that there are some winter special laddoos that come for rescue every time.
Laddoos are actually much more than just a mere dessert as when made with some typical ingredients, they can do wonders for the body. From methi to gond, there are some laddoos that can work like magic for our body. It can even beat some medicines, but moderation is important.
Recently, our star chef Pankaj Bhadouria took to Instagram and shared the recipe of a winter special Immunity booster laddoo. She wrote “Immunity Booster Laddu: This winter season, fight off sickness with these Immunity Booster Laddus”. This recipe was so amazing that we couldn’t stop ourselves from sharing it with you.
