When I try to Roast Oats, they get fried immediately and become black(with in few seconds). why is it so ? Also, can you show same with khajur instead of jaggery ?
Hi....this sounds so delicious and healthy! Do suggest a replacement for milk so that it can be stored for a week or so.

This is very quick,healthy and delicious recipe . I also added and rolled laddus in desiccated coconut . Thank you for sharing!
Tasty, healthy and crunchy ladoos !
Usually all the recipes on the website are foolproof and I follow them blindly to have a perfect dish. But in this one, I was a bit apprehensive about step 3&4 but yet followed it..turned out, the jaggery hardened on heating and slightly cooling and couldn''t be mixed with other ingredients. So I again took 4 spoons of jaggery and just blended in mixer with ingredients. Tasted fine as well, but tedious to roll into laddoos.
This recipe sounded so good that I was tempted to try it immediately after reading it.Also I had all the ingredients at home.It was simply delicious, quick and easy to prepare.Thanks for sharing.
