Ingredients

1 cup ghee
3 cup sattu
1/4 cup almond
1/4 cup cashew
1/4 cup walnut
4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp sunflower seeds
3 tbsp flax seeds
3 tbsp melon seeds
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp raisins
1 tsp cardamom powder
250 gm jaggery or as needed

Instructions

In a kadai, dry roast almonds and cashews for a few minutes. When their colour starts to change, add walnuts and roast briefly, as walnuts do not need as much roasting as almonds and cashews. Once roasted, transfer them to a plate and keep aside.
Now, in the same kadai or pan, add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and melon seeds and dry roast them until almost done. Then add sesame seeds and roast briefly, as sesame seeds roast very quickly. When you see the seeds popping, transfer everything to a plate.
In the same kadai, add ghee and sattu powder. Lightly roast for 4–5 minutes on low flame, as sattu powder is already roasted.
Add jaggery and mix well, keeping the flame low.
Now add the roasted nuts and seeds to a mixer grinder jar and grind coarsely. Reserve some seeds to add later.
Add the ground mixture to the sattu mixture. Then add cardamom powder, raisins, and the reserved seeds. Mix well and switch off the flame.
While the mixture is still warm, shape it into laddoos.

Notes

Always roast on low flame to avoid burning

Shape ladoos while the mixture is warm

Adjust jaggery slightly based on sweetness preference
