Here is a recipe for Healthy Nut & Seed Energy Laddoos (which you can also leave in loose powder form as Panjiri). This recipe uses every single ingredient you mentioned and is packed with healthy fats, fiber, and natural sweetness.
đź“‹ Ingredients List
| Ingredient Group | Ingredients | Quantity (Approx.) |
| Nuts | Almonds (Badam), Cashews (Kaju), Walnuts | 1/2 cup each |
| Seeds | Sesame seeds (Til), Flax seeds (Alsi) | 1/4cup each |
| Seeds (Raw) | Chia seeds | 2 tbsp (do not roast) |
| Base & Sweeteners | Makhana (Foxnuts) powder, Jaggery (Gur), Dates (Khajur) | 1.5 cups makhana, 1/2cup jaggery, 1/2 cup pitted dates |
| Binding | Ghee | 3-4 tbsp |
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Nuts & Seeds
- Makhana: Heat 1 tsp of ghee in a pan. Roast the makhana until they are crunchy. Let them cool and grind into a fine powder (if you don’t have pre-made powder).
- Nuts: Add another tsp of ghee and roast the almonds, cashews, and walnuts on low heat until aromatic (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and let them cool.
- Seeds: In the same dry pan, roast the sesame seeds and flax seeds for 2 minutes until they start to pop. Do not roast the chia seeds. ### Step 2: Grind Everything
- Put the cooled nuts, sesame seeds, and flax seeds into a blender. Pulse them into a coarse powder. (Don’t over-blend, or the nuts will release too much oil and turn into butter).
- Transfer this mix into a large bowl. Add the makhana powder and the raw chia seeds. Mix well.
Step 3: Prepare the Sweetener Base
- Blend the pitted dates with 1-2 tablespoons of warm water to form a smooth paste.
- In a pan, add 1 tbsp of ghee and melt the jaggery on low heat with 1 tbsp of water just until it dissolves. Add the dates paste to this and cook for 1 minute on low heat until combined.
Step 4: Mix and Shape
- Pour the warm jaggery-date mixture into the bowl with the dry powder.
- Add the remaining melted ghee.
- Mix everything rapidly with a spoon (it will be hot!). Once it’s cool enough to handle, use your hands to mix thoroughly.
For Panjiri: You are done! Let the mixture cool completely and store it as a loose, nutritious powder.
For Laddoos: Take small portions of the warm mixture in your palms and press firmly to shape them into round laddoos.
đź’ˇ Quick Tips
- Binding Trouble? If the mixture feels too dry to shape into laddoos, add a teaspoon of warm melted ghee or a splash of warm milk (note: adding milk reduces shelf life).
- Storage: Store in an airtight container. Because of the dates, keeping them in the fridge will make them last longer (up to a month).
