I am surprised at this post. I never liked dry fruits and people who know me will know what I mean. I guess Motherhood teaches you to do everything for your sweet little one. After having baby, I knew I need to have that extra strength to nourish him and to run behind him. So presenting  this full of energy and power packed food with a secret ingredient. It wont be secret anymore.. I am going to Open it!! Great source for Lactating Mothers , New moms and why leave behind the Old Moms!! Its for everybody. This is dedicated to all the Non- Stop Engine, Heart of Home!!

The secret ingredient is Gond also known as Gunder, Dink, Gum. Easily available in Indian Stores. Check out the pic below, if you haven't seen it. I am now in Love with this Dry fruit laddu. So Tasty , and so crunchy!!

Ingrediants

1 1/2 cup dates ( khajoor)
1/2 cup cashewnut( kaju)
1/2 cup almond
2 tbsp raisins
1/2 cup dry desicated coconut
2 tbsp gonder( dink)

Procedure

Dry roast almond and cashew and roughly chop them or lightly blend them to a coarse mixture. Do not make fine powder. 

Now in a tsp of ghee roast the gunder till its nice and crispy.These stone looking substances fluff up like popcorn, they turn brittle. Now crush them. They should be cooked well else they stick in the teeth.

                                                      This is raw gunder

See How they puff up on roasting.

Saute Raisins for few seconds.

Now roughly chop the dates.In a pan add little ghee and keep mashing the dates so that they don't stick to bottom.Keep mixing and mashing with spoon till it turns tender.It takes about 5-7 mins to turn tender.

Mix all the nuts and gunder, Give its a little crush together. If you wish you can crush it bit more. But I love the crunch.

Now mix the crushed nuts into it and Add the coconut and mix well and cook for another 5 mins. OFF the stove and let it cool for a min or 2.  Coconut is great for lactating mother.

Apply little ghee to hand and make small balls out of it.Do not wait till the mixtures cools.

Yummy delicious healthy ladoos are ready. It has nice soft and crunchy texture. Eat one each day as your power snack. I am sure you cant stop at one haha.
