About Energy Ladoos: A Family Special!

This was my go-to source of energy when growing up! The original family recipie included Jaggery, Rice and Ragi, but I have come to change it so that it is modern, yet traditional. What is not to love about healthy ladoos made out of Almonds, Cashews, Cocoa and Chocolate Chips?!
