How to make Red Rice Laddu recipe with Jaggery | Soft & Juicy Red Rice Ladoo | Red Rice Motichoor Ladoo with detailed snaps and procedure.

Red rice is known for its high fibre content, iron, and vitamins. The rich red colour of the Red Rice is a gift from the antioxidant called anthocyanin. Adding red rice to the daily diet helps in maintaining bowel health, regulate blood sugar, controls blood pressure, and reduce body weight.

Though powdery versions of Ladoos are likeable, the soft and succulent Motichoor Ladoos should be hardly irresistible by anyone, isn't it? Just think of making tender and succulent Motichoor Ladoos out of the Red Rice, that too, with the added bonus of Jaggery as a sweetener. Hurray! The best-ever Motichoor-like Ladoo recipe with the health-packed Red Rice and Jaggery is shared here. Usually, the powdered red rice is transformed into Ladoos adding a lavish amount of ghee to it. My crave for juicy Ladoos let me innovate these best-ever, most succulent Red Rice Motichoor Ladoos that need very little ghee, or could be made with no ghee at all.

These super-yummy Ladoos involve a bit long process to achieve the right coarsely granulated texture and the best succulent feel. But, you would realize that the time spent for the making process of the recipe is totally worth it when the mouth-melting juicy Ladoos are playing harmony in the mouth.

So, what is special in my version of Red Rice Motichoor Ladoo?

The Goodness of Red Rice & Jaggery:

• The health-lending Red Rice is the star ingredient with the bonus advantage of power-packed Jaggery.

Unique Making Process:

• The red rice should be partially soaked, drained, dry roasted, and ground to coarse particles. Then, the coarsely ground red rice particles have to be cooked completely in the Jaggery Syrup to get the best-tasting Red Rice Motichoor Ladoos. 

Very Less Ghee:

• Unlike the usual red rice making process, these Ladoos need a very little amount of ghee.
  

 

So, the very tender and succulent Ladoos are possible only when the procedure is rightly pursued. The mentioned amount of ingredients yield about 15 to 17 Red Rice Ladoos, and the recipe can be easily doubled, tripled, or even halved. To achieve the exact texture and taste, certain 'Do's and Don'ts' have to be followed.

Do's and Don'ts:

• The red rice should be soaked for at least 2 hours before roasting.
• The roasted red rice should be ground to a coarse powder, and not to a fine powder to achieve the right texture.
• The red rice should be allowed to cook in the Jaggery syrup to retain the right texture.
  
• The coarsely ground red rice should have to be cooked in the Jaggery syrup for about 15 minutes over a low flame to get the soft and succulent feel in the Ladoos.

These Red Rice Motichoor Ladoos can be stored in an air-tight container, and they keep good for more than 10 days even when not stored in the refrigerator.
