Ingredients-

• Peanuts 1 Cup

• Jaggery 1 Cup

• Almonds 1/3 Cup

• Cashews 1/3 Cup

• Flax Seeds 1/4 Cup

• Pumpkin Seeds 1/4 Cup

Directions-

• Take a pan with thick bottom and roast Peanuts, Almonds, Cashews, Flax Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds separately on low to medium flame.

• Here at this step you need to make sure that Peanuts are roasted well and they are crunchy. Other ingredients will not take much time for roasting.

• Now let these ingredients cool down completely.

• Add above ingredients to a mixer/grinder jar along with jaggery and run your mixer/grinder to form coarse or fine consistency. I personally prefer grinding it to a fine consistency as it allows me to make laddus easily.

• Now the laddu mixture is ready. Make small laddus of the mixture.

Tip- If you are not able to make laddus, try adding few drops of clarified butter/Ghee or milk.

you can add/replace almonds or cashews with walnuts. If you have no time to make laddus then eat above prepared mixture as sweet dish with spoon. Good as an evening snacks for kids.

As summer is on its way go easy on go easu on these laddus. one laddu per day is a good choice.
