About Til Dry Fruit Ladoo:
Til ke laddu have always been popular during winter. Sesame seeds help in keeping the body warm, jaggery adds natural sweetness and iron, and dry fruits provide healthy fats and crunch.
When these ingredients come together, they make a wholesome, filling, and delicious sweet that you can enjoy any time of the day.

There is no refined sugar, no chashni-making, and no long process.
It is a straightforward and healthy winter ladoo recipe that anyone can make at home.
And this is exactly why I decided to make this recipe at home.
I wanted to make something healthy, simple, and full of natural goodness. Something that gives warmth and energy without being too heavy.
But there was also a more personal reason behind making these laddoos.
My daughter never enjoys dry fruits on their own.
No matter how I offer them, chopped, roasted, mixed with honey or any sweet dishes. She refuses them every time.
So I thought, why not turn all the nuts and seeds into a tasty winter sweet that she would actually enjoy?
And that is how these Til Dry Fruit Ladoos happened.
When the sesame seeds started roasting, the kitchen instantly filled with that warm winter aroma.
The jaggery melted softly, the roasted nuts added a beautiful crunch, and everything came together perfectly.
Now she happily eats one ladoo every morning, and I feel good knowing she is getting something healthy and homemade.

Basic Ingredients Used to Make Til Ladoo Recipe:
Sesame Seeds (Til): Til is the main ingredient in this ladoo. It provides natural warmth during winter and is rich in calcium, iron, and healthy fats. Roasting til releases its aroma and makes the ladoo more flavourful.
Jaggery (Gur): Gur not only adds sweetness but also works as a natural binding ingredient. It is a healthier alternative to sugar and gives quick energy. Lightly melting jaggery keeps the laddoos soft and prevents them from turning hard.
Peanuts: Peanuts make the ladoo rich, crunchy, and more nutritious. They add healthy fats, protein, and a beautiful earthy flavour once roasted.
Almonds: Almonds add a lovely crunch and are great for winter as they are packed with vitamin E and good fats. They make the ladoo more filling and nourishing.
Walnuts: Walnuts are excellent for brain health and add a deep nutty taste. Their natural oils help keep the laddoo moist and soft.
Cashews: Cashews add a light sweetness and a soft crunch that balances the texture of the ladoo beautifully.
Desiccated Coconut: Coconut brings natural sweetness and softness to the ladoo. It also balances the nuttiness of til and adds moisture so the ladoo doesn’t feel dry.
Wheat Flour (Atta): Atta helps bind all the ingredients together and helps the ladoo hold its shape. Lightly roasting it in ghee adds a warm aroma and prevents the mixture from crumbling.
Ghee: Ghee enhances taste, improves digestion, and adds richness. It also helps bind the mixture while shaping the ladoos.
Cardamom Powder: Cardamom adds a gentle sweetness and fragrance that lifts the overall flavour of the ladoo.

Til Dry Fruit Ladoo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds til
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup wheat flour/ aata for binding
- 4 tbsp ghee for roasting aata
- 2 tbsp ghee for melting jaggery
- 2 to 3 tbsp ghee while mixing the laddo mixture, or as needed
- 1 cup jaggery gur, lightly melted
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
Instructions
- Start by roasting the sesame seeds on low to medium flame. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes. Roast until they smell nice, turn light golden, and start popping a little. Once done, take them out and set aside.
- Next, roast the peanuts. This will take about 3 minutes. Keep the flame low to medium. Once roasted, let them cool completely, remove the skin, and keep aside.
- Now roast the almonds. It will take around 2 minutes. Once they turn slightly fragrant, take them out and set aside.
- Roast the walnuts next. These roast very quickly, so 1 to 1.5 minutes on low flame is enough. Remove and keep aside.
- Roast the cashews for about a minute. As soon as they turn slightly golden, take them out and set aside.
- Lightly roast the desiccated coconut on low flame. This takes only a few seconds. Make sure the colour does not change. Keep aside.
- After that, add 4 tablespoons of ghee and roast the wheat flour. Roast on low to medium flame until it turns fragrant and the color changes. Once done, keep aside.
- Now start grinding everything, but only in pulse mode.
- Coarsely grind peanuts, then almonds, then cashews and walnuts toageather, and sesame seeds separately. Make sure not to grind too much or the nuts will release oil.
- To melt the jaggery, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee and add the jaggery. Melt it lightly on low flame. Do not cook it, just melt and switch off the flame. Add cardamom powder to the jaggery and mix.
- Now take a big mixing bowl. Add the roasted atta, all the ground nuts, ground til and roasted coconut. Pour the melted jaggery on top. (When you add the melted jaggery, be careful because it will be hot. Mix the ladoo mixture first with a spoon. Once it becomes warm enough to touch, mix it properly with your hands and start shaping the ladoos.
- If the mixture feels dry while shaping, add a little warm ghee or melted jaggery and continue rolling.
- Your til dry fruit ladoos are ready.
