Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Dates
  • 1/2 cup cashew nuts
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1/8 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/8 cup sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions
 

  • Deseed the dates and chop them into pieces and set aside.
  • In a pan slow roast the cashews till they are crisp Remove from heat and set it to cool. Follow this up with the almonds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Allow them to cool.
  • Into the food processor add the nuts a small quantity at a time and bring them to break down a bit.
  • Add cardamom powder, and chia seeds and give it another pulse.
  • Add the dates a little at a time and pulse.
  • As more of the dates are added the mixture becomes softer and tends to hold shape.
  • Remove the mix at this point on to a plate and shape small portions into a ball to form ladoos.
  • Store in an airtight container and enjoy.

Notes

As we break down the nuts we are looking for a coarse breakdown and not a fine powder. however, if you have smaller kids or elderly people, it is best to powder the nuts finely and then mix with the dates.
