Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White sesame seeds (till)
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup Jaggery
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon Almond or peanut butter (optional, for added protein)
Instructions
Heat a dry pan over medium heat and toast the sesame seeds until lightly golden and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside in a mixing bowl.
In the same pan, toast the chia seeds for 1-2 minutes until they begin to pop. Add them to the sesame seeds.
Coarsely grind the roasted peanuts in a food processor or using a mortar and pestle. Add them to the mixing bowl along with the shredded coconut.
Grate or chop the jaggery into small pieces for easier melting.
In a small saucepan, combine the jaggery with 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over low flame until the jaggery fully melts into a thick syrup. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
Once the jaggery syrup is ready, add cardamom powder and almond or peanut butter (if using). Mix to combine and turn off the heat.
Immediately pour the hot jaggery syrup into the sesame seed mixture and mix thoroughly using a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are well coated and sticky.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it is safe to handle but still warm. Grease your hands lightly with oil or water, then take small portions of the mixture and roll them into tight laddus (balls).
Allow the laddus to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Store the laddus in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
