Peanut and Sesame Laddu
Ingredients :
- Roasted peanuts ( I bought raw organic peanuts, and roasted them at home ). - 1 cup
- White sesame seeds - 1/2 cup
- Deseeded dates - 1 cup
- Heat up a pan and dry roast the sesame seeds till they become slightly brown. Make sure they don't become over roasted. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
- In a blender, first take the dates, and make a smooth paste out of it. Set aside in a bowl.
- Now take the roasted peanuts and sesame, and grind them till you get a fine powder.
- Add the peanut and sesame powder to the dates paste, and knead nicely to mix.
- Make small balls out of it. The stickiness of dates acts as the binding factor to make the laddoos.
- Store in an air tight container.
Peanuts can also be replaced by any nut/dry fruit of your choice. Any combination of cashew nuts, walnuts, almonds, raisins also work fine for this recipe.
