Instructions

Prepare the Peanuts

Dry roast the peanuts in a wok or skillet over medium-low heat until they begin to pop and the skins turn slightly dark. Let cool completely, then peel off the skins.

Roast the Sesame Seeds

In the same pan, dry roast the sesame seeds until fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Grind the Ingredients

Coarsely grind the roasted peanuts in a food processor or blender. Separately, pit the dates and grind them coarsely as well.

Combine and Mix

In a large bowl, combine the ground peanuts, ground dates, and roasted sesame seeds. Mix well using your hands until a dough forms.

Shape the Laddoos

Pinch off small portions of the dough and roll them into balls (laddoos). Make them all roughly the same size.

Store

Store the laddoos in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Date & Peanut Laddoos

Date Selection: Medjool dates are ideal for their rich flavor and texture. If using other varieties, you may need to adjust the quantity slightly.
Roasting: Don't burn the peanuts or sesame seeds. Low and slow roasting brings out the best flavor.
Grinding: Coarse grinding is key to maintaining texture. Avoid over-processing.
Storage: These laddoos will keep for about a week in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, consider freezing them.
