Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity who is believed to be the remover of obstacles and the symbol of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. This festival is widely celebrated in India and holds great cultural and religious significance.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, Ganesh Chaturthi is an auspicious time to honor Lord Ganesha and seek his blessings for good health and prosperity. Ayurveda teaches us that good health is achieved by maintaining a balance between the mind, body, and spirit. It emphasizes the importance of consuming fresh, seasonal, and plant-based foods to nourish the body and support overall well-being.
Vegan Moong Dal Ladoo Recipe for Ganesh Chaturthi:
The Vegan Moong Dal Ladoo aligns with Ayurvedic principles as it incorporates ingredients like moong dal, jaggery, coconut, almonds, and cardamom, which are considered to be sattvic (pure) and nourishing for the body. These ingredients provide essential nutrients, and energy, and promote digestion. Let’s make some healthy moong dal ladoo!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow split moong dal
- 1 cup jaggery, grated
- 1/4 cup coconut, grated
- 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/4 cup cashews, chopped

Instructions:
- Dry roast the moong dal in a pan until it turns golden brown and aromatic. Let it cool down completely.
- Grind the roasted moong dal into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.
- In a separate pan, melt the jaggery with a little water until it becomes a syrup-like consistency.
- Add the ground moong dal powder to the jaggery syrup and mix well.
- Add grated coconut, chopped almonds, cashews, raisins, and cardamom powder to the mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
