Now, it is the story time; it was about two years ago I had severe muscle aches along my spinal cord. I haven’t gone to such a bad state that the doctors recommended that I use pain relievers almost on a daily basis and sometimes even an hourly basis. So I so I started following this well reputable food nutritionist who’s also a doctor say is that what are the most important things when trying to resolve some body ache pain or disease is to First address if the cause of the problem. So the root cross for my problem was that I wasn’t taking in too much magnesium and needed vitamin and minerals. So I put on my thinking cap and experimented with different ingredients and different dishes. And finally, I arrived on if this dry fruit laddu.

The reason why dry fruit laddu took so long and so many hours of hard work was so I wanted to make a dish that would be healthy and would also be tasty. See the problem with all the energy slash recovery dishes is that they’re either too kind and treated on a specific element like protein or carbohydrate or carbohydrates or vitamins or they taste like wet cardboard.

Suggestions for Variations for Dry fruit Laddu:

  • This laddu does taste great is the quantity of nuts, and dry fruits are of the same amount. The options for the nuts are also vast. You may seeds like, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, sesame seeds, and also add dried coconut slices.
