This is different from the normal green gram/

pasiparuppu/moong laddoo.

The authentic recipe has powdered sugar/

jaggery mixed . This time I made it with

caramelised syrup ,almonds & roasted edible

gum(badam pisin).

Edible gum is solidified resin from the almond

tree.Natural body coolant . This gum, when

soaked in water , gains a jelly form , and is

used in drinks like rose milk,jigarthanda (a

famous South Indian drink).

High protein content almond gum removes

acidity in stomach,burns fat , but has reverse

effects of fat gain if consumed with milk.

Those who have no time for breakfast can have

this high protein ladoo.

So, let’s move to the recipe now
