INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Tbsp. Ghee 
  • 2 Cups Grated Coconut  
  • 1 Cup Jaggery Powder 
  • ¼ Tsp. Cardamom Powder 
  • 1 Cup Macadamia Nuts (Roughly Chopped) 
  • 1 Tbsp. Raisins (Roughly chopped)
INSTRUCTIONS
  • In a pan, dry roast macadamia nuts for 8-10 minutes on low flame. Keep stirring while roasting.
  • Take them off the heat and set aside to cool before grinding the nuts into fine powder.
  • In the same pan, add 1 tbsp ghee and grated coconut. Roast on low flame until the coconut turns aromatic. This will take about 5-7 minutes. If using desiccated coconut, then make sure to soak it in warm water for at least 10 minutes.
  • Now add jaggery powder and mix well until the jaggery melts. Keep cooking until the mixture starts to hold shape.
  • Now add macadamia powder, chopped raisins and cardamom powder and combine everything well.
  • Take the mixture off the heat. Let it cool down a bit.
  • When the mixture is still slightly warm, start making laddoos. Store these for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
