Ingredients

Cashews: 100 grams

Almonds (Badam): 100 grams

Walnuts: 100 grams

Raisins: 100 grams

Iranian Red Dry Dates: 100 grams

Jaggery: 200 grams

Poppy Seeds: 1 teaspoon

Ghee (clarified butter): 1 teaspoon

Procedure

Step 1: Roast the Nuts

Fry the cashews, almonds, and walnuts separately over high flame for 1 minute each, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Once done, set them aside to cool.

Step 2: Roast the Poppy Seeds

In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of ghee and fry the poppy seeds over high flame for 1 minute.

Step 3: Grind the Nuts

Using a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind the roasted almonds, cashews, and walnuts. Do not grind them into a fine powder; a coarse texture adds to the laddus' crunchiness.

Step 4: Prepare the Sweet Mixture

In the grinder, blend the raisins, dates, and jaggery for about two rounds until they form a sticky mixture.

Step 5: Combine and Shape the Laddus

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground nuts, the sweet mixture of raisins, dates, and jaggery, and the fried poppy seeds. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round laddus using your palms.
