I made this laddu with the combination of these healthy ingredients. It tastes awesome and  very healthy sweet too. I am sure that you love this laddu.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup – Almonds
• 1/2 cup – Oats (I used instant oats)
• 1/2 cup – Split green gram/Paasi paruppu
• 1/4 cup – Pistachios
• 1/2 to 1 cup – Sugar
• 4 or 5 nos – Cardamom
• 2 tbsp – Ghee (hot ghee)

Preparation method:

1. Heat a pan, dry fry almonds, oats, split green gram and pistachios each separately to a golden brown color. You have to be very careful while frying because it should not get burnt. Allow them to cool.
2. Grind fried items each separately in a mixer grinder to a smooth powder. Same way grind sugar and cardamom to a smooth paste.
3. Transfer all ground items to a mixing bowl and mix well. Now heat ghee and add it to the powder and sugar mix. Mix it with a spoon and make small balls (lemon sized)while the heat is endurable(tolerable or bearable).
4. Now tasty and healthy laddu is ready.This will stay for a week or two if you store it properly in an airtight container.

Notes:

• It is important that you have to fry all ingredients properly. You shouldn’t burn any ingredient.
• While grinding almond and pistachios you will notice it is little sticky this helps you to make balls properly.
