The traditional spherical Indian sweet known as laddu, often a blend of sesame seeds and dried fruits, has been rejuvenated in the country as snacks and marketed as energy balls, nutri balls, bliss balls, and protein balls. Offered by many chefs and eateries, the new versions can take the form of wheat balls and coconut balls with amaranth seeds. Others are made with different kinds of cereals or millets and contain a mixture of dried berries and nuts. Still others, like peanut jaggery (sugar) balls and sesame jaggery balls, contain seeds like flax, amaranth, sunflower, watermelon, and pumpkin. Versions rich in protein are catching on among workout enthusiasts at gyms.
