Instructions

  • Remove the seeds from the dates and mash them using a fork to make a smooth paste. Heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a pan. Once hot, add cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. Stir continuously and lightly roast them on low heat for 1-2 minutes or until they are fragrant. Once the nuts are fragrant, remove them in a bowl and set them aside to cool down completely. To the same pan, add raisins and roast for a few seconds. Once they swell up, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a separate bowl. Keep it aside. Add the dates paste to the same pan and roast it in the ghee for 2-3 minutes on low heat or until it comes together like a smooth dough. Remove the pan from the heat and keep it aside. To another pan, add poppy seeds, melon seeds, and dry roast for 1 minute over medium-low heat. Transfer them to a plate, and in the same pan, add desiccated coconut. Stir and toast 1 minute or until coconut turns slightly golden. Transfer the toasted coconut to a plate the pan and set it aside to cool completely. In a blender add the roasted nuts mix, poppy seeds, melon seeds, toasted coconut, and cardamom powder to a blender and pulse for a few seconds in short intervals until they form a coarse mixture Make sure not make fine powder, a few big pieces add a nice crunch and taste in this dry fruits laddu. Put the pan with the dates on the stove and heat it for 1 minute or until heat through. Add crushed nuts to the same pan and mix well until everything is well incorporated. To check the consistency, take a small portion of the mixture and try to roll it with your hands. If it holds the shape, then it is ready. If it is hard to bind, then you can add about 1 tablespoon of ghee to the mixture. Turn off the heat, and let it cool slightly. Add roasted raisins and mix everything well. Now with the greased hands pinch out about 2 tablespoons of mixture and roll it into a smooth ball.
