Ingredients
- ½ cup halim seeds
- ½ cup jaggery powder
- ¼ cup ghee
- ¼ cup grated coconut
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
- ¼ cup chopped cashews
- 1 tbsp raisin
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Put the halim seeds into a bowl and then cover them with just the right amount of water. Give them 30 minutes to swell up and turn into a gelatinous texture.
- Heat the ghee in a pan. Now add in some almonds, cashews, and grated coconut. Let them roast on a low flame for 2 or 3 minutes, just until they are lightly golden.
- Take them out of the pan and set them to one side.
- In the same pan, add the remainder of the ghee and the jaggery powder. Let it all cook on a low heat until the jaggery has completely melted into a smooth syrup.
- Add the soaked halim seeds to the jaggery syrup. Mix it well and then let it cook on low heat for 2 or 3 minutes more.
- Add in roasted nuts, coconut, raisins, and cardamom powder. Mix everything really well until it all comes together into a nice mixture.
- Switch off the heat and let the mixture cool until it’s warm but still soft and slightly pliable.
- If it’s looking a bit too dry, then just add a little bit of ghee to sort it out.
- Rub a bit of ghee on your hands and then start to take small portions of the mixture & roll them into round laddoos.
