Dry Fruits Laddu

This is a diet-friendly and diabetic-friendly laddo. Thanks to Jayashree Iyer for this awesome recipe!!!

Yield: about 8 laddoos.

INGREDIENTS

Ghee: 1/4 tsp
Dates: 12-14, cleaned, de-seeded and chopped.
Mixed nuts and raisins (unsalted) : a small handful.
   I used Cashew, Walnuts, Pista and Raisins.  You can also add dried figs, if you can get hold of some.

Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add the ghee and then the dates.
Keep Stirring and cook until it is mushy and coming together.
Now, add the mixed nuts and raisins and combine well.
Stir for a minute or so.
Now, remove to a bowl, allow to cool and make it into balls.
For Flavouring: you can add cardamom powder. Since I don't like it, I added Saffron and it tastes lovely!
