About Dry Fruits Ladoo Recipe
I have used dates, figs, almonds, cashews, raisins, desiccated coconut to make these laddu. Skip the desiccated coconut if you don’t like the coconut aroma.
There is no exact recipe to make dry fruits laddu or these energy balls. The proportions of the nuts and dry fruits can vary according to your choice.
Just make sure the dates and figs are a little extra. Since the dates, figs have cohesive and sticky properties that help in binding the laddu.
There is absolutely no need to add any sugar to the recipe. The sweetness of the dates, figs and raisins makes make the laddu sweet – in fact a little extra sweet.
