Malida: Healthy and Instant Whole Wheat-Jaggery Dessert

Hello Foodies,
           Sharing one of my childhood favorite dessert, Malida. Do you like Tup-Sakhar-Poli

(ghee-sugar-wheat chapati)? I love Tup-Sakhar-Poli and If you like it, I am sure that you will also love this healthy, hassle-free and tempting dessert. I grew up eating it. Malida / Maleeda is sweet made with whole wheat flour, jaggery / gul,  ghee / clarified butter and dry fruits. It is usually made on religious and auspicious occasions. At my home, it's mainly prepared on the day of rangpanchami as a prasadam or offering to God. It’s nutritious, healthy and delightful dessert.
           The addition of Jaggery and nuts to the Malida increases the nutritional value of this sweet. Jaggery has the ability to cleanse your body, helps in digestion and also contains iron that can help to avoid the risk of anemia in all age groups.


Preparation Time: 2 Minutes.
Each serving of Malida contains 150 calories.

My Take :
