Notes
Always buy fresh seeds, as they can turn rancid.
Roasting the nuts and seeds is a must, but make sure you do not over-roast them.
Remember to grind them in pulse mode, always grind them in short bursts. They should not clump.
Organic soft jaggery is a must, this will bring together everything.
If the mix is dry, you might need to add some ghee or milk to bind the ladoo. Use almond milk for a vegan version.
Bind the ladoos while the mix is still warm.
Customize the ladoos - Use different nuts or seeds.
