Popular Marathi Calendar “Kalnirnay” organizes Recipe competition every year called “Paknirnay”. Participants are asked to submit Recipes under specific categories. This year, my innovative recipe “Beetachya Pananche Laadoo (बीटाच्या पानांचे लाडू) – Beetroot Greens Laddus” was judged second in the “Laadoo” category. I value this competition much more because the judges of this competition are experts in culinary field. This year the judges were – Dr. Mohsina Mukadam, Chef Devavrat Jategaonkar and Ms. Archana Arte.
Now something about this recipe. I wanted to try something very different. We generally make laddus with grains, flour or fruits. So I was thinking if I can make laddus with a vegetable. Then I tried laddus with Chandan Batwa – Bathua – Chenopodium Album. They turned out to be nice. Then I tried laddus with Beet Root Leaves /Greens. They were nice too. So I had two types of laddus – both innovative, nutritious and delicious. Finally decided to send “Beet Root Leaves Laddu” for the competition as they looked better than the other one.
