Recipe Notes
- Do not over cook the flax seeds as it might turn bitter.
- Form ladoos while the mixture is little warm else you wont be able to form ladoos.
- If the mixture has cooled down and you are unable to form ladoos then microwave the mixture for 30 seconds and then start forming ladoos again.
- If your mixture is too dry and you are not able to form alsi ladoos then add some melted ghee and mix well. Once the mixture becomes little moist form ladoos.
