Jowar Ladoos with Rose Petals are ladoos made with Jowar or sorghum flour. These ladoos have the goodness of almonds and coconut.
I spotted the Jowar Ladoos at Harini ‘s space and immediately decided to make them, but I wanted to give them a twist. I followed her recipe but added some dried rose petals. I powdered them and trust me they were at a different level. These Ladoos can be served for festivals, like Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, you can even take them to a friend’s place as a gift. The Amaranth and Nuts Ladoos that I posted yesterday also is a wonderful Diwali gift.
Diwali is just around the corner and these ladoos are very festive, give them a try, as they are healthy as well as delicious. I am posting these Ladoos for my Day 2 post under Diwali Sweets and Savoury theme. You could check more of these recipes here.

That’s one mindblowing combination Vaishali. I won’t have thought about it. did you try the recent whole rose bulbs that Priya got for us? I am still wondering how to use those petals..hehehe
No Valli , I normally have a stock of dried rose petals , used those . The rose buds are best for garnish or as props .
I was about to ask the same question… Did you use the rose petals that Priya gave? Powdering them is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I should try it in my tea too.
Very interesting laddoo recipe with jowar flour. Such a simple recipe to make — thanks for sharing, these will be perfect to make for impromptu guests. Love the idea of adding dried rose petals – must have added so much flavor.
Delicious and guilt free ladoos. I tasted the jowar ladoos but addition of rose petals is really interesting.
Thanks for the mention, Vaishali. I would love to pop in a few of those laddus. Adding rose petals definitely elevates the humble jowar laddus.
Rose petals would have added a bit of flavor to these already delicious ladoos.
