Notes
- Dry Fruit – When grinding the dates and figs, pulse them gently to avoid making a paste. A coarse mixture works best for shaping the laddus.
- Nuts – Toast the nuts lightly before grinding to bring out their flavor and ensure they blend easily into the mixture. You can also use any combination of nuts based on preference.
- Ghee – Use fresh, high-quality ghee for the best taste. It's the key to binding the ingredients and giving the laddus their gloss finish and rich flavor.
- Shaping – Allow the mixture to cool slightly before shaping it into laddus to avoid burns. Roll them into small lemon-sized balls.
- Consistency – If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more ghee to bind it together. It should be firm but not too sticky.
- Sweetness – Taste the mixture before shaping the laddus. You can always add a bit more sweetness by incorporating extra dates or a drizzle of honey if preferred.
- Customizing Nuts – You can swap almonds or cashews for walnuts or pistachios for a unique flavor. You can also add a sprinkle of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra nutrition.
