Dry Fruit Ladoo| Kids Delight|BM #15

Last day of BM #15 and here goes the recipe for Dry Fruit Ladoo. This is simple and quick to make.
5 Figs/Dates (I used figs)
1/2 cup chopped dry fruit and nuts (Almonds, pistachio, Cashews, Walnuts, Raisins)
2 table spoon powdered sugar
2 table spoon water
1 table spoon ghee

Grind the figs/dates coarsely. In another pan add 1 table spoon ghee, roast the other fruit and nuts and keep aside.
In a pan add the figs and little water and keep stirring until it starts to melt  a little bit and becomes gooey texture. Then add sugar and continue stirring for 2 minutes and then add the roasted fruit and nuts and mix well. switch off the stove and roll them balls when they are warm.

Note:
This ladoo is very healthy and can be done any dry fruits of your choice.
Condensed milk can also be added instead of sugar. It will give a richer taste.
