Ingredients:- (Makes 15)


Aval / Rice Flakes – 1 Cup (approx 75 gms)
Sugar – 1 Cup
Cocoa Powder – 1 tbsp – to taste
Cashews – 1/2 cup – to taste
Green Pistachios – 1/4 cup – to taste
Cardamom – 2 to 3 pods
Dessicated coconut – to taste
Raisins – for garnish (optional)
Ghee (clarified butter) – 1/2 cup – as needed

Here’s How:-

Dry roast rice flakes till golden brown. Care should be taken not to scorch/burn them !

Grind together the roasted rice flakes, cashews, pistachios, sugar, cardamom and the coconut into a fine powder. Add cocoa powder and give it a quick pulse.

Heat the ghee and let it remain on low flame. On a lightly greased plate/tray spill the powdered contents and garnish them with raisins (u can also add sliced dessicated coconut or cashws) .

Add hot ghee little by little as needed and shape it into laddoos. The hot liquid helps in shaping them; i have to say my rounds are not perfect but am getting there ! The quantity of ghee specified can be adjusted as needed.

I also made a small batch without adding cocoa powder —
