Makhana Laddoo Recipe

Step 1 Prepare jaggery syrup.

Add jaggery to a pan along with 1/2 cup water. Cook the mixture till it thickens a bit and attains a one-string consistency.

Step 2 Roast the making

Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan. Add makhana and gently roast them on low flame until golden brown.

Step 3 Roast other ingredients.

Now heat 1 tbsp in the same pan. Add peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, coconut, and sesame seeds, and roast them for just a few minutes.

Step 4 Crush the ingredients.

Mix this mixture with the makhana and crush the mixture using a mortar and pestle. You can also gently crush the ingredients by blending them in a blender (in batches).

Step 5 Prepare the laddoo mixture.

Add the crushed makhana-nuts mixture to a large bowl. Pour the jaggery into it and mix well with a spoon. Now use your hands to mix everything well.

Step 6 Make laddoos

Now grease your hands with some ghee, take out small portions from the mixture, and make small laddoos.

Step 7 Ready to be served

Once all the laddoos are made, let them dry off completely. Either serve the laddoos immediately or store them in an airtight container.
