Introduction
Hey everyone! Today, I’m going to share a special recipe that not only tastes delicious but also helps in promoting hair growth and controlling hair fall. We’re making Biotin Laddoos These laddoos are packed with natural biotin and other nutrients that are great for your hair, nails, and overall health. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Cashews : Rich in zinc and iron for healthy hair.
- Oats : Contains silica, promoting hair strength.
- Dates : Natural sweetness and high in iron.
- flaxseeds : Omega-3 fatty acids for shiny hair.
- Walnuts : Biotin and vitamin E for hair growth.
- Mixed seeds : Nutrients that support hair health.
- Jaggery (Gur) : Rich in iron, boosts hair strength.
- Coconut : Provides healthy fats for hair.
- Almonds : High in magnesium, supports hair growth.
Steps to Make Biotin Laddoos
Step 1: Roasting the Nuts and Seeds
First, we need to roast the nuts and seeds. Take a medium-sized pan and roast the following ingredients on a medium flame:
- Cashews
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Mixed seeds
- Flaxseeds
Make sure to stir continuously so they don’t burn. Roasting enhances the flavors and makes the laddoos tastier. Once they are nicely roasted and have a lovely aroma, set them aside to cool.
Step 2: Roasting the Coconut
In the same pan, roast the grated coconut. Keep the flame medium and stir it until it turns slightly golden. This step gives a wonderful texture and taste to our laddoos. After roasting, add the coconut to the mixture.
Step 3: Roasting the Oats
Next, roast the oats in the pan until they turn a light golden color. This helps in making the oats crunchy and enhances the flavor. Once done, add the oats to the mixture of nuts, seeds, and coconut.
Step 4: Preparing the Dates
Take some dates and remove the seeds if they have any. Chop them into small pieces and add them to the mixture. Dates are a natural sweetener and will bind all the ingredients together.
Step 5: Grinding the Mixture
Now, take all the roasted ingredients and grind them into a fine powder. This makes it easier to shape the mixture into laddoos. Don’t grind them too finely; a little texture is good for the laddoos.
Step 6: Melting the Jaggery (Gur)
In a pan, melt the jaggery on a low flame. Make sure it melts completely and there are no lumps. Jaggery not only adds sweetness but is also rich in iron and other minerals, making our laddoos even more nutritious.
Step 7: Mixing Everything Together
Once the jaggery is melted, add the ground mixture of nuts, seeds, oats, and dates to it. Mix everything thoroughly so that the jaggery coats all the ingredients well. Let this mixture cool slightly, but not completely.
Step 8: Shaping the laddoos
Now, it’s time to shape the laddoos. Take a small amount of the mixture in your hands and roll it into small balls. Be gentle but firm to ensure they hold their shape. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more melted jaggery or some ghee (clarified butter) to bind it better.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-roasting : Be careful not to over-roast the nuts and seeds, as they can turn bitter.
- Incorrect Grinding : Grinding the mixture too finely can make the laddoos lose their texture. Keep it slightly coarse.
- Melting Jaggery : Make sure the jaggery is completely melted and free of lumps for a smooth mixture.
- Binding : If the mixture is too dry, it won’t bind properly. Adjust with a little more melted jaggery or ghee as needed.
