    • Jaggery syrup will be hot. It may burn the skin if touched directly, but you should be quick in shaping ladoos. If the mixture is cooled down completely, forming the ladoos are difficult.
    • This rajgira ladoos stay well for a week if stored in an airtight container.
    • Jaggery syrup consistency is crucial for making perfect rajgira ladoos; otherwise, it may turn hard or loose.
    • Make sure you introduce rajgira/amaranth seeds separately to your baby before trying this rajgira ladoo.

        You can pop the amaranth seeds at home. Firstly, keep the amaranth seeds under the sun to get rid of any moisture. Then heat a heavy bottom pan and add one tbsp of seeds at a time. Cover the seeds with a soft muslin cloth, press them gently to pop. Remove it to a plate once popped. Repeat the process for the remaining seeds.
