Ayurvedische Weihnachts-Cookies - Unsere Kichererbsenkekse mit Weihnachtsgewürz

For more than 25 years, we at AMLA have been offering laddus – an Indian sweet made from chickpea flour, ghee and sugar. It is a traditional sweet that is also used as a pilgrim food in Indian culture. When the pilgrims arrive at a place of pilgrimage after their exhausting day marches, where they are provided with food and shelter, they often receive laddus to keep them fresh and alert for meditation or prayer. This special food could be called ‘soul food’ in the modern sense.

The product melts when heated and cannot be shipped in the summer months. We have therefore looked for an alternative for this very popular product and offer you very tasty biscuits that have approximately the same recipe as Laddus - however, they are baked at the end of the manufacturing process. If you follow the terminology of today's marketing trends, you could call the basic material: ‘roasted chickpea flour’ a ‘superfood’. This term is often used to describe foods that differ from normal foods in terms of their particularly high nutritional value. Unlike such trendy products, which are often conceived in marketing departments and publicised on social media, roasted chickpea flour is an ancient food that is used as a traditional staple food in many cultures around the world.
