I made these tilgul laddus with some unusual ingredients, including oats, flax seeds and dates!
Ingredients
- Roasted unpolished sesame seeds (til): 1 cup
- Oats: 1 cup
- Roasted peanuts: 1/2 cup
- Roasted flax seed powder (javas/alsi): 1/4 cup
- Pitted, chopped black dates: 1/2 cup
- Finely chopped jaggery or jaggery powder: 1/2 cup
- Desi ghee: 6 tsp
- Black raisins: 1/4 cup
- Elaichi powder (green cardamom): 1 tsp
Method
- Heat 2 tsp of desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- When the ghee melts, add the oats and roast until brown.
- Add the dates and mix well.
- Add the coarsely ground sesame seeds, peanut powder (from the roasted peanuts) and flax seed powder.
- Mix well. Add the jaggery, raisins, elaichi powder and the remaining ghee.
- The jaggery will melt from the heat.
- While the mixture is still hot, roll it into laddus of any size you like, and enjoy!
