Rava Laddu With Palm Sugar
Today is the second day of Blogging Marathon #21 and I am posting under Diabetic Sweets. Apart form the sugar free substitute I used yesterday, another natural sweetener good for diabetics is palm sugar. Palm sugar has a low glycemic index which is very good for diabetics compared to the white refined sugar. So I tried using it in rava laddu instead of white sugar and we couldn’t spot the difference. I also added some chopped dates which also has a low glycemic index and best for a diabetic. So a diabetic can indulge with out fear of increasing blood sugar levels. But moderation is the key. When preparing for diabetics prepare in lower quantity so that the intake can be restricted.
These look so very tempting…lovely option to make sugar free.
nice twist to the regular rava laddu by using plam sugar 🙂 they look delicious
Beautiful Laddus!
