[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- 5 mins]

Dry Fruits Laddu Ingredients:

• Dates – 20
• Fig – 3 to 4
• Almonds – a handful
• Pistachios – a handful
• Cashewnuts – a handful
• Ghee – 1 tsp

Method:

• Remove the seeds from dates. Chop the dates and figs roughly. Keep it aside. Heat a pan and dry roast all the nuts until slightly brown. Let it cool.

• Grind it in a mixer into a coarse powder. Keep it aside. Now in the same mixer grind the chopped dates and figs into a coarse paste. Heat a pan with ghee.

• Add the coarsely ground dates mixture and nuts mixture. Saute in low flame for a few mins or until well combined. This will not take more than 3-5 mins. It should not stick to the pan. Let it cool. Take a small amount of mixture and shape it into balls while it is still warm.

Thats it!! Easy and Yummy Dry Fruits Laddu is ready.

Store in air tight container.

Tips:

1. There is no specific measurement to make this Dry Fruits Laddu. U can increase or reduce each dry fruit or nut according to your taste and availability.
2. U can add raisins along with dates and figs too.
3. U can add a pinch of cardamom powder and make the laddu. I have not added any as I wanted it as is.
4. The above measurements yields 12-15 laddus.
5. This does not require much ghee, just a tsp would do.
6. While shaping the laddus, ghee is not required as it will not stick to your palms.
7. This stores well for 4-5 days in room temperature. Am sure it will be finished by then 🙂
