Dry Fruit, Seed and Nuts Laddu
These dry fruit, seeds and nuts ladoo are healthy, raw and no cook ladoo . They are so easy to make and are sweetened naturally with dates and raisins.
Servings: 12 laddu
Equipment
- Food processor or a Blender
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup almonds
- ⅓ cup cashew
- ¼ cup pistachio
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 12 to 14 soft dates ( adjust to taste) add more if you like it much sweeter
Instructions
- In a food processor or a blender add the cashew, almonds and pistachio.
- Pulse it few time so the nuts break up. Do not make fine powder, keep few big chunks for a nice crunch in the laddu. Reserve 2 tbsps of the crushed nuts in a plate to coat them at the end.
- Add in the chia seeds, raisins and soft dates.
- Pulse them few times till all the dates break up and everything is well combined. If you feel the mixture is little dry and cannot form a laddu, add 1 to 2 tsps of water at a time and pulse it again. That should work.
- Take small portion of the mixture, and form a laddu. Coat the laddu with the reserved crushed nuts and enjoy them.
Notes
- The amount of dates, truly depends on how sweet the dates you are using are.
- If the dates are not soft, soak them in hot water for few minutes to soften.
- Raisins can be skipped in the recipes, just add few more dates.
- You can use nuts of your choice.
- If the mixture is dry add 1 to2 tsps of water at time and pulse it again till you can form a laddu. You don't prefer water, you can add ghee ( for non vegan laddu).
