Variety is the spice of life and Blog Hop adds to it.
As this is where you try out dishes from your partner’s blog to suit your palate the idea is Radhika’s brain child.
How does Blog Hop add to variety? Well I go through my partner’s posts in greater detail so in this sense I am coming to know newer likeminded people. All of us are connected through our love for food and serve a better variety with love.
This week I am partnered with Hirini of Tamalpaku and since I very rarely make Indian sweets I wanted to try my hands out at a ladoo. I had bookmarked this recipe of sugarless ladoos long ago.
In case you have not checked this wonderful space do so now.
Here is the original recipe I have not changed it except for adding pistachios. (Because I love them would have added more but did not want test fates. Next time will replace cashew nuts with them.)
Ingredients:
12 Fresh Dates
18 Almonds
22 Cashews
10 pistachios (optional)
3tblsp +1 tblspn) Dry Coconut grated
4 Cardamoms
Method:
1. Dry Roast Almonds, Cashews and pistachios and let them cool.
2. Switch of the gas and dry roast 4 tablespoon of grated coconut.
3. Chop the fresh dates for easy grinding.
4. Grind the almonds, cashews, pistachios, cardamoms and 3 tblspn coconut grated.
5. Add the chopped dates to it and grind it further until thick dough is formed.
6. Remove the dough from the mixer and knead for a minute or two to make it a little pliable. The amount of oils that oozes out is amazing. My hands were like I have dipped them in oil.
7. Make ladoos out of the dough and roll each of them on the remaining coconut.
