It is Dasara time and I have been trying hard not to make any sweets for Naivendya- offering to the good gods. We have had a great time with extended family the last 3 months and a large part of it was eating manic eating! Just the time we thought we had returned to more sane eating, here comes Dasara. I have not made any of my Dasara staples this time around. But for Saraswathi Pooja I simply could not resist the urge to make something sweet. So here is something that is no cook and no sweat.
We will need,
Raisins 1 measure
Copra 1 Measure
Dates 1 measure
Figs (dried) 1 measure
Almonds 1 measure
Cashew 1 measure
Cardamon a few seeds
Method:
Raisins 1 measure
Copra 1 Measure
Dates 1 measure
Figs (dried) 1 measure
Almonds 1 measure
Cashew 1 measure
Cardamon a few seeds
Method:
- Toast the copra, cashews and almonds separately on a moderately hot skillet. Set it aside to cool.
- Once the nuts are cool, combine everything in a mixer and pulse till smooth and comes together.
- Remove from the mixer and press it into balls the size of limes.
- Enjoy it as a prasada or as a part of a meal.

Love this. And the natural sweetness of the fruit is more than enough. And rightly you have not added any sugar.
I empathise completely with you on the diet front :-), family & gathering are synonymous with food in our culture. Laadoo looks wonderful.
Well dieting involves a balance by cutting out all sugars...love these healthy ladoos

Looks inviting, I wonder if the ingredients were coarsely ground would it give a better visual appeal. But then I am no cook.
such nice sweets you have prepared with the use of dry fruits
