Nuvvula Laddu - Sesame, Jaggery, and Winter in Every Bite
Til laddu in January is not just a sweet - it's a ritual. The warmth that sesame creates from inside, the natural heat of roasted nuvvulu meeting jaggery and ghee, the nutty-sweet flavour that Makar Sankranti is built around. But you don't need a festival calendar to eat these. One laddu in the morning with warm milk and your day starts right.
Nirmala's Nuvvula Laddus are hand-shaped fresh after your order. Premium white sesame seeds slow-roasted on a traditional griddle until golden, combined while warm with natural jaggery and pure desi ghee, shaped into dense, aromatic laddus. No refined sugar, no preservatives. Made to order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Nuvvula Laddu associated with Makar Sankranti?
Sesame seeds are a natural warming food in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine - they generate internal body heat, which makes them especially valuable during winter. Makar Sankranti falls in January at the peak of winter in India, so sesame-jaggery sweets became the traditional festival food for this season specifically.
What does it taste like?
Deep, warm sesame nuttiness with complex jaggery sweetness and cardamom. Slightly dense but not hard - the ghee keeps it soft enough to bite through easily. The roasted sesame flavour is the dominant note, warm and satisfying without being overpowering.
Is it good for calcium and bone health?
Yes - white sesame is one of the richest plant sources of bioavailable calcium. 100g of sesame seeds contains more calcium than most dairy products. Combined with the phosphorus in sesame and iron in jaggery, daily consumption of nuvvula laddu genuinely supports bone health and prevents deficiency.
How long does it stay fresh?
2-3 weeks at room temperature in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Up to a month refrigerated. Sesame laddu has a longer shelf life than coconut or fresh-ingredient laddus - the roasted sesame and jaggery preserve well naturally.
Can I eat it daily?
1-2 laddus daily is ideal - particularly in winter. Morning with warm milk is the traditional way. The calcium, iron, and warming properties work cumulatively, so daily consumption through winter months is beneficial.
Does it contain artificial preservatives?
No. Only roasted white sesame seeds, natural jaggery, pure desi ghee, and cardamom. No preservatives, no artificial flavours, no colours.
Allergen info: Contains sesame. Made in a kitchen that also handles peanuts, tree nuts, and gluten.

Made the Telangana Way
Growing up, Nirmala watched her mother make pickles every season - Avakaya when the raw mangoes were right, Gongura when the sorrel harvest came in, laddus and podis ground fresh for every festival. The kitchen always smelled of roasting spices and cold-pressed oil. That smell was home.
After marriage and moving to a new house, her mother would send jars of pickle wrapped carefully in newspaper. Everyone who tasted them asked the same question - where did these come from? Nobody made pickle like that anymore.
When Nirmala found herself missing that taste - the one no shop or brand could replicate - she went back to her mother's recipe and started making it herself. Not to sell. Just to remember. But the people who tasted it asked the same question her mother's jars always inspired. So Nirmala's Home Kitchen began - to share that taste with everyone who grew up knowing what homemade really means.
