Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 15 laddus
Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup jaggery
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Instructions
- Dry roast almonds and peanuts separately in a pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. Allow them to cool completely.
- Grind the roasted almonds and peanuts separately into a fine powder using a food processor or mixer grinder. Ensure no large chunks remain.
- In the same pan, dry roast the flaxseeds on low heat for 3-4 minutes until they become fragrant and start to release their oils. Remove from heat and let them cool.
- Grind the roasted flaxseeds into a fine powder using a mixer grinder or food processor. Sieve the ground flaxseeds to remove any coarse particles.
- Grate or powder the jaggery using a grater or mixer grinder until it becomes a fine, smooth consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds, almond powder, peanut powder, powdered jaggery, and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Using clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round balls (laddus). Apply slight pressure while shaping to ensure the laddus hold their shape.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of ghee or melted coconut oil to help bind the ingredients and make rolling easier.
- Place the prepared laddus on a clean plate and let them rest for 10-15 minutes to set and firm up.
- Store the laddus in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be kept fresh for up to a week.
Tips
- Roasting is Key: Take your time when roasting nuts and flaxseeds. The secret to incredible flavor is achieving a golden-brown color and releasing those natural nutty aromas.
- Texture Matters: Ensure you grind the ingredients into a fine powder to create smooth, well-integrated laddus that hold together perfectly.
- Binding Trick: If your mixture seems too dry, don't panic! A teaspoon of ghee or coconut oil can work magic in helping the laddus hold their shape.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow your roasted ingredients to cool completely before grinding to prevent clumping and ensure the best texture.
- Storage Wisdom: Store these laddus in an airtight container at room temperature, and they'll stay fresh and delicious for up to a week – if they last that long!Pro Tip: These laddus are not just a treat, but a nutritional powerhouse perfect for a quick energy boost, post-workout snack, or a guilt-free sweet indulgence!
