Yum! Yum! Yum!

My MIL is true admirer of my food blog and encourages and supports me in my food blog journey. She has tried several recipes from my blog but Popcorn Chicken in KFC Style and Chocolate Balls are her favorites from my blog. She is in the crowd who motivated  me to start Video Recipes as Videos help all the age group audience to quickly follow through the recipes, that resulted in my Yum! Yum! Yum! Recipes youtube channel.  I am so glad to have such a nice mom-in-law who encourages and supports my passions.

Today I am going to share my Mother-In-Law's recipe that is OatDateNut Ladoo recipe. In this recipe, Oats grind into powder and mixed with other wonderful nut powders and gets processed with Dates puree, finally rolled as Ladoos. The recipe is so simple, that these Ladoos will be ready in Under 15 minutes. These Ladoos are very healthy  as it uses multi-grains, dates, nuts and no sugar is added.This will be good to serve as evening snack for kids or will be power packed on-the go Breakfast. Usually I don't like sweets, but I finished most of these Ladoos when my MIL made yesterday. Because these are not that sweet, little grainy, you can get the pieces of Dates in between, they are simply superb! So When there are so many healthy ingredients used and still tastes delicious, then What do you have to lose,  just that Extra Fat!  Here is the recipe, Njoy!


 Ingredients:
Oats - 1/2 cup ( I have used Rolled Oats)
Dates - 1/2 cup ( pitted and finely chopped)
Ghee - 1 tsp ( Clarified Butter)
Mixed Nuts - 1/4 cup ( I have used Almonds, Peanuts, Pistachios)

*yields 12 Ladoo

Method:

1. Heat the non-stick pan and add 1 tsp Ghee. Once the Ghee is hot, add the Oats and toast them slightly for 1 min. If you are using Peanuts slightly toast them for 1 min. in the same pan ( transfer the toasted oats to separate bowl).
2. Grind the Almonds and Pistachio nuts into fine powder in the small mixe jar. 
3. Grind peanuts into fine powder in small mixie jar. 
4. Grind toasted Oats into fine powder in small mixie jar. 
5. Combine the Oats Powder, Nuts Powder and along with chopped Dates. Combine the mixture and grind again in small mixe jar or in food processor. You will get thick dough at this time. 
6. take the 1 Tbsp amount of dough in your palms and roll them into fine Ladoos until the Dough is done. That's all OatDateNut Ladoo are ready now, so simple, right!

Notes:

• You don't have to toast Almonds or Cashew or Pistachio Nuts.
• I have used MedJol Dates, they are not that sweet. If your Dates are not that sweet, before rolling the Ladoo taste and accordingly add 1 Tbsp of Jaggery Powder. 
• Optionally you can add 1 tsp of sesame seeds or 1/2 tsp crushed ilachi powder for more flavor and taste.
• They store fresh for 5 days out side at room temperature. You can store them refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.
