Sajja Laddulu(Bajra Laddu)

My final recipe for this week is again with a millet. Because millets are best substitute for a diabetic diet to replace with white rice. Bajra is one of those millets we used to cook it in the place of rice for lunch or we mke rotis and some sweets. Cook bajra with little salt and serve with any spicy, tangy gravy the best combination for lunch. Bajra is one of the common grain which is used widely in rural India. Bajra is well known as Sajjalu in telugu, we make Sajjaburelu (a sweet snack) with this lillet in Sankranthi festival time. This sajja laddulu is an experment for my diabetic sweet recipe. So I used jaggery for this recipe but you can replace with refind sugar. I used 1/2 cup ghee if you feel that is a large amount of ghee I used. You can reduce the ghee and sprinkle some milk to make laddu's. But when you mix with milk this sajjaladdulu won't stay for long they stay for one or two days. If you make this laddu's with melted ghee this will stay for a month.
So let's check the recipe...
