Dry fruit Ladoo

Whether you’re looking for a pre-workout snack, a festive treat, or a guilt-free indulgence, these ladoos are a perfect choice. Dry Fruit Ladoos are packed with essential nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike store-bought snacks loaded with refined sugar and preservatives, these ladoos are naturally sweetened with dates and figs, providing long-lasting energy without blood sugar spikes.



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dates (seedless and chopped)

  • 1/2 cup figs (anjeer)

  • 1/4 cup almonds

  • 1/4 cup cashews

  • 1/4 cup walnuts

  • 2 tbsp flaxseeds

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

  • 1 tbsp ghee (for binding and flavor)


Preparation:
  1. Dry Roast the Nuts and Seeds – In a pan, dry roast almonds, cashews, walnuts, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds for 3-4 minutes on low heat until aromatic. Let them cool.

  2. Blend the Dry Fruits – In a food processor or mixer, add chopped dates and figs. Blend them into a sticky paste.

  3. Grind the Nuts and Seeds – Pulse the roasted nuts and seeds into a coarse powder.

  4. Mix Everything Together – In a mixing bowl, combine the nut-seed powder, date-fig paste, cardamom powder, and ghee (if using) or you can bind them in warm water. Knead well to form a sticky dough.

  5. Shape into Ladoos – Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized ladoos.

  6. Store & Enjoy – Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for a month.


Since dry fruit ladoos are high in natural sugars and healthy fats, moderation is key.

  • For weight loss: 1 ladoo per day as a mid-morning or evening snack.

  • For energy boost & active lifestyle: 2 ladoos per day, preferably before workouts or as a post-workout snack.

  • For kids: 1 ladoo per day as a healthy snack.

  • For elders: 1 small ladoo per day to support energy levels and immunity.

  • If you want you can roll these ladoos in dessicated coconut for flavour and taste.
