Dadi Ke Winter Power Laddus — Recipe
Ingredients:
* Makhana – 1½ cups
* Almonds – 1 cup
* Cashews – ½ cup
* Walnuts – ¼ cup
* Pistachios – ¼ cup
* Pumpkin seeds – ¼ cup
* Sunflower seeds – ¼ cup
* Sesame seeds – 2 tbsp
* Ramtil/Niger seeds – 2 tbsp
* Poppy seeds – 1 tbsp
* Green raisins – ½ cup
* Black raisins – ½ cup
* Dates – 1 cup, deseeded
* Ghee – 2 tbsp + extra if required
Method
1. Roast makhana in 1 tbsp ghee until crisp.
2. Separately dry-roast the almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios and all the seeds until fragrant. Don’t over-roast the seeds.
3. Let everything cool slightly, then grind coarsely. Don’t make it into a fine powder.
4. Heat 1 tbsp ghee, add the dates and both raisins and cook on low heat until they soften and become sticky.
5. Add the ground nuts and seeds and mix really well.
6. If the mixture feels too dry to bind, add 1–2 tsp warm ghee at a time.
7. While still warm, shape into laddus.
Storage
Cool completely before storing. Keep them in a clean, completely dry airtight glass container.
* Refrigerator: about 3–4 weeks for best quality.
* Room temperature: I’d recommend 7–10 days, especially in a warm/humid climate.
* Freezer: around 2–3 months; thaw at room temperature before eating.
And make sure you use completely dry spoons/hands when taking them out. Moisture is what we really don’t want getting into the jar.
