Ingredients
- 1 dry coconut (gola), grated or blended
- 2 tbsp almond butter (homemade, see method)
- 2 tbsp jaggery powder
- 2 tbsp almonds, soaked and chopped
- 2 tbsp dried rose petals
Method
- To make almond butter: heat a pot, add the almonds, and roast over a low flame while stirring continuously for 5 minutes. Blend the roasted almonds for 5-7 minutes. The powder will transform into a creamy, buttery substance; scrape down the sides as needed.
- Blend the grated or blended dry coconut for 5-7 minutes until it also becomes creamy and buttery.
- Add the blended coconut to a bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands.
- Shape the batter into small ladoos, garnish with dried rose petals, and serve.
Tip: Soak 2 tbsp almonds for 6 hours. The batter keeps in a jar in the refrigerator for 2-3 days - shape them fresh to order.
Highlights: Good source of vitamin E, iron and manganese.
