Kulith Laddoo: High-Protein Winter Warming

Horsegram — kulith in Marathi — is one of those humble legumes that Ayurveda holds in very high regard. It's deeply warming, high in protein, and traditionally eaten through winter in Maharashtra and coastal Karnataka to keep the body strong and the digestion sharp. It's not a glamorous ingredient, but it's an honest one. We sweeten it with jaggery because kulith is already earthy and robust — jaggery's molasses depth complements it perfectly, and its iron content makes this laddoo genuinely nourishing rather than just tasty.
