Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Bajra Flour
- 2 tbsp Edible Gum gond
Nuts & Spices
- ¼ cup Fox Nut fox nuts
- ¼ cup Fruits chopped, dry, mixed
- 5-6 Cardamom Pods
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the bajra flour and roast, stirring constantly. Roasting the flour deepens its flavor and enhances the ladoo's aroma. Continue roasting until the flour turns fragrant and slightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a separate pan, dry roast the makhana over medium heat until they become crisp. Set aside to cool. In the same pan, lightly fry the edible gum in a small amount of ghee until it puffs up. This adds a light and airy texture to the ladoo. Set aside.
- Grind the roasted makhana, chopped dry fruits, fried edible gum, and cardamom pods into a coarse powder. A coarse powder adds a pleasant texture to the ladoo.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted bajra flour, jaggery, and the ground nut-spice mixture. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. The warmth of the roasted flour helps the jaggery melt slightly and bind the mixture.
- Shape the mixture into small, round ladoos. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of warm ghee at a time until it binds. If it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of bajra flour.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, roast the nuts and seeds before grinding them.

- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less sweetener.
Storage Instructions
- Store ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
