Wish you happy new year to all, Hope this new year will brings you all good health, wealth, joy, fun and happy 😍. Eat healthy and stay healthy and always keep smiling😊. This year my first post is sweet - Ladoo - Poha Badam Laddu. Which is healthy, crunchy and tasty and very easy to prepare.  Here we use thick poha to prepae this poha badam laddu. As i mentioned badam yes i love to add badam in many recipes , as it is not only healthy but also adds good taste to the laddu. I am using powdered palm jaggery which is very healthy. Adding good amount of ghee to mould this ladoo also gives divine taste and increases the shell life of Poha Badam Laddu. Regularly I prepare this ladoo for Krishna Ashtami festival.
