Notes

In the video I have used store bought puffed amaranth seeds. Check my post HOW TO POP RAJGIRA SEEDS.
If jaggery/sugar is not cooked to 1 thread consistency then the ladoos won't bind properly.
Bind ladoos when still warm. You will have difficulty in shaping ladoos if the mixture cools down.
Skip Chia seeds, Flax seeds when making for fasting days. 
If for any reason you are not able to bind these bites properly you can use it as AMARANTH GRANOLA and enjoy it for your breakfast as parfait or in fruit and smoothie bowls.
