    Javas Ladoo - A to Z Maharashtrian Sweets, 

    When I did Alsi Ladoo for A, I mentioned that another similar ladoo is coming up. Here’s the one that I referred to that day. Flaxseed is called Javas/ Alsi in Marathi, so I wanted to make the best use of this seed to cover both the alphabets.

    So I looked out for a recipe that’s different from the one I already made. I adapted this ladoo from chezshuchi site. The recipe is totally different, though it's another ladoo. I also mentioned that I made about 5 different sweets the day I made these. Out of that two were ladoos with the same main ingredient.

    While the taste was different, looks-wise it was similar and I had confusion on plating it too. The other preps that I did were to make note of the recipes that called for similar ingredients, like mawa/khova. I made khova at home keeping in mind all the dishes that I would be making. So these were prepared on the same day so as to use up the homemade khova.

    Flaxseeds are very rich in omega 3 fatty acids and dietary fibers. This ladoo that I made is a traditional ladoo recipe made with flax seeds, black sesame, and poppy seeds. Since black sesame seeds and poppy seeds are a very good source of minerals as well, this ladoo is highly nutritious.

      You are totally becoming the laddoo making queen now Valli. It was funny how you said that you had confusion plating the two laddoos. Both the versions are delicious.
