Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Finger Millet / Ragi flakes
  • 1 cup Dates seedless
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp Poppy Seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped Almonds
  • 2 tbsp chopped Pistachios

Instructions

  • Chop the dates roughly and using a food processor or grinder, pulse the dates in small batches. This will make small bits and save you the time and effort of individually chopping the dates.
  • In a wok, dry roast the Almonds and Pistachios and chop them roughly. Keep aside. Heat 1 tbsp of ghee and roast the Ragi flakes on low flame until crispy.
  • To the roasted ragi flakes, add the date bits and poppy seeds. Mix everything together and roast gain for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Finally, add the roasted and chopped nuts and mix well. Turn off the flame.
  • Let the mixture rest till it's cool enough to handle with your bare hands. Pinch out a small portion from the laddu mixture and roll it into a round ball. Repeat till all the mixture is used up.
