Why you will love this recipe
These laddus are both tasty and nutritious. The roasting process brings out the natural nuttiness of oats and enhances their texture. Jaggery adds sweetness without refined sugar, while the mix of cashews, almonds, and raisins provides varied flavors and textures. The recipe is forgiving and adaptable – you can adjust the sweetness and experiment with different nuts.
Cooking Tips
Roast the oats on medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning. The oats should turn slightly golden and release a nutty aroma. Allow ingredients to cool completely before grinding to prevent clumping. If the mixture feels dry while shaping, add a little more warm ghee. Roll the laddus while the mixture is still slightly warm.
