Peanuts-Dates Laddu

Peanuts-Dates Laddus in Marathi



Time: 10 Minutes
Makes: 8 to 9 small laddus 

Ingredients:
150 grams dates (See the tip below)
1/2 cup peanuts

Method:
1) Dry roast peanuts until light brown. Transfer them to a bowl. Let them cool down. Remove the peels and blow all the peels off.
2) Crush the peanuts using mortar and pestle. You may use grinder, but do not make fine powder. We need a very coarse texture.
3) remove seeds from the dates. Grind. Transfer into a mixing bowl. Add half of the crushed peanuts and knead. Use very little ghee to grease your palms.
4) Add the remaining peanuts once first batch is incorporated into the dates. Then make 1 inch diameter laddus.
It is a quick, sugar-free and healthy recipe suitable for Ganpati prasad.
