Instructions

Prepare the Oats

Dry roast 1 cup of rolled oats in a pan over medium heat until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
Then, grind the roasted oats into a fine flour using a blender.

Combine Ingredients

In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine 1 cup of desiccated coconut and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is slightly sticky.

Add Flavor and Nuts

Reduce heat to low. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder and stir well.
Add the ground oat flour, 10 chopped almonds, and 10 chopped cashews. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

Finish and Shape

Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of ghee. Mix well until the ghee is evenly distributed.
Let the mixture cool for 7-8 minutes, or until it's slightly firm to the touch but still pliable.
Shape the mixture into small, lemon-sized balls (ladoos).

Cool and Serve

Place the ladoos on a plate and allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Oats Coconut Ladoos

For extra flavor, toast the coconut and nuts before adding them to the mixture.
If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference and the sweetness of the coconut.
For a richer flavor, use homemade ghee instead of store-bought.
