Aliv Laddoo

Small-batch kitchen

The Fit Laddoo range
Every one is hand-rolled the same week you order it. Four of them also come in a chocolate version, which is how we get the kids to eat their seeds.
Garden cress seeds soaked in milk, rolled with coconut and jaggery. The traditional winter laddoo, and still the one people re-order most.
A pack of two: flaxseed with pumpkin seed, and sesame with sunflower seed. Made for anyone who follows the seed-cycling routine and would rather eat it than swallow it.
Roasted flaxseed and almond, bound with ghee and gud. Nutty, dense, and easy to carry — this is the one that goes into lunchboxes.
Edible gum puffed in ghee, with wheat flour, gud and dry fruit. The classic cold-weather laddoo our grandmothers made by the tin.
Built around nuts, seeds and roasted dal for people who train and keep forgetting to eat afterwards. Two of these actually hold you over.
Just sesame and jaggery, the way it has been made every Sankranti for as long as anyone remembers. Two ingredients, no shortcuts.
Not a laddoo — a jar of the loose roasted mix, so you can spoon it over milk, curd or oats. Keeps well and travels better than rolled laddoos.
Why DadiNani
“Every house had a dadi or a nani who kept a steel tin of laddoos on the top shelf. We are just keeping that tin filled.”
Juzt Homemade is a one-kitchen operation. The recipes come from both grandmothers — one side rolled gond and panjeeri through the winter, the other side made til gud every January. Nothing is outsourced, nothing sits in a warehouse, and every batch is rolled by the same pair of hands.
