Ingredients
Tips

- Ghee - 1 tsp
- Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
- Pumpkin seeds (optional) - 1 tbsp
Step-by-Step Method
Facts

- Step 3: Add ghee and cardamom, then pulse once more for even binding.
- Step 4: Shape into small ladoos and roll in crushed pumpkin seeds if using.
Pro Tips
Tips
- If dates feel dry, soak in warm water for 5 minutes and pat dry before blending.
- Do not over-blend almonds into butter; coarse texture gives better bite.
- Store in an airtight container and consume within 5 to 7 days.
Best Usage
Use 1 to 2 ladoos as a pre-work snack, breakfast add-on, or travel-friendly healthy bite. Pair with milk or curd for a fuller mini-meal.
