Sathu Maavu Laddu-Health Mix Ladoo Recipe-Healthy Snacks Ideas (Indian)

February 12, 2015 by PadhuSankar 23 Comments

Sathu Maavu or health mix as the name indicates is full of healthy ingredients. Laddu prepared with sathu maavu is a great snack for kids. Many kids do not like kanji or porridge prepared with health mix but they will surely love this laddu. Mothers can pack these laddus for children studying in hostel, as mostly hostel food will not be very nutritious. I have made these laddus with homemade health mix prepared with 100% organic ingredients without white sugar. Today we will learn how to make wholesome, nutritious, health mix laddus following this easy recipe.

Prepare Sathu Maavu or health mix powder as given in the link below or you can use store bought health mix powder.

This can be had as a snack by adults, pregnant women and kids. It can be given to kids as after school snacks or can be packed in their snack box.

Note – Make sure that the ghee is warm.

Storage and Self Life – Store it in an air tight container. I store it in these air tight containers and they stay fresh for 15-20 days. Avoid using wet hands or spoons while handling the laddus.

    Hi Padhu when we prepare kanji with this powder, the flour is getting cooked finely. But is it ok to prepare laddu as it is or shall we roast the flour again. Im asking this as I have a 4 yr old kid. Will there be any digestion problem for the kid?

      Actually we prepare the homemade health mix only by roasting all the ingredients separately, so there is no need to roast the flour again. May be you can roast it slightly if it store bought kanji mavu. Whatever you give for kids, start with less quantity,wait for 2 days to see if he/she has developed any allergies and then continue.

      You can but I do not sure how it will taste. Moreover when giving for babies, you can avoid nuts.
