I make these laddoos very often. They are good substitute for cereal bars. Ever since I read about goodiness of flax seed, I was searching for recipes that include flax seed. I found the laddoo recipe on this website. I have modified the recipe a bit to include more dry fruits like pistachios, almonds, cashew nuts. These laddoos are easy to make and are ideal for travel food and/or office snack.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup peanuts
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
2 tbsp Flax seeds
8-10 Pistachios
7-8 Almonds
3/4 cup Jaggery (as per taste)
1 tsp cardamom powder
A pinch of salt
Servings:
Makes about 25 small laddoos.
Dry roast peanuts in a kadhai on medium flame. When they are fully roasted, they turn slightly brown and give a nice aroma. Transfer peanuts to another bowl. Now in the same kadhai, roast sesame seeds. Stir continuously to prevent sesame seeds from burning. They roast quickly in about a minute or two. Take it out and add flax seeds to the pan. Stir them and cover the kadhai with a lid as flax seeds start cracking once heated. Take the flax seeds off the heat and next roast pistachios for about 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. Lastly roast almonds in the kadhai for 1-2 minutes. Once all the ingredients are cooled down, grind them together with jaggery and cardamom powder and salt. I did not grind the powder very fine; instead I prefer coarse powder.
These laddoos do not need any ghee for binding. The oils from flax seeds, peanuts serve as binding agents. I add other dry fruits like cashew nut powder, dry date powder (Kharik) etc for added flavour and nutrition.
