This is a classic Pakistani
sweetmeat that is typically served as a sweet treat or at the end of the meal with tea.
Ingredients:
150g pitted dates, chopped
80g mixed, chopped,
cashew nuts,
almonds, dried figs and raisins
1 tbsp ghee
3 tbsp desiccated coconut
Method:
Add the ghee to a karahi or wok and use to toast the nut and dried fruit mix for about 2 minutes, or until the nuts are lightly browned. Take off the heat, turn into a bowl and set aside.
Now add the dishes to the wok and keep stirring over medium heat until the dates begin to break down and melt. Now stir in the fruit and nut mix and stir to combine.
Take of the heat and set aside. Whilst the mixture is still warm, take spoonfuls and shape these into laddus (slightly flattened balls). Roll in the desiccated coconut and set aside on a plate to cool completely.
