Mixed Nuts Ladoo/ Dryfruits ladoo

Nuts ladoo or dryfruit ladoo is very tasty and healthy snack as it contains dates and mixed nuts and no added sugar or sweet. It roughly cost 3 times costlier in shop where as it is very simple and interesting to make at home. Kids feel difficult to eat dates and nuts separately. This ladoo taste too good and loved by all kids. Even elders can consume one ladoo during every morning. Always mixed nuts and dates are taken in equal ratio to make this ladoo. I have used walnut, hazelnut, cashew nut, almonds and pistachio.

Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Yield - 30 ladoos

Ingredients:

Dates - 1 1/4 cup (Seedless, roughly chopped)
Cashew nut - 1/4 cup
Almonds - 1/4 cup
Pistachio - 1/4 cup
Black Raisin - 1/4 cup
Hasselnut - 1/4 cup
Walnut -1/4 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Nutmeg powder/ jaadhikai powder - 1 pinch
Salt - 1 pinch
Ghee - 2 tablespoon

Preparation Method:

1. Dry roast all the nuts (cashewnut, pista, almond, haseselnut, walnut) one by one and allow it to cool.



2. In a mixer roughly blend all the nuts into coarse texture not powder. If you have nuts chopper, you can chop the nuts instead of blending in mixer. I always use ripper in mixie to do this process. Do this process for every nut separately, as different nuts require different timing to get into rough texture.
3. Heat ghee in a large kadai and add roughly blended nuts and saute them in medium to low flame.



4. In meantime, blend dates into fine paste in mixer and add it to kadai. Ensure to maintain flame very low.
5. Blend raisin roughly in mixer and add it to kadai. Add pinch of salt, nutmeg powder and cardamom powder. Mix well and switch off the flame.
6. Transfer the ladoo mixture to fine plate and allow it to cool off. When the mixture is warm, mix well using hands evenly.
7. Make ladoos out of mixture and store it in airtight container. No need to refrigerate.

Yummy, simple, healthy and tasty ladoo is ready.
