Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1 tbsp melon seeds
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1 cup milk powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp fennel powder
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • A pinch of nutmeg powder
  • A pinch of saffron

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Soak the almonds in a bowl of water for 3 hours, and soak the cashews, melon seeds, and poppy seeds in a separate bowl of hot water for the same amount of time.
  2. After soaking, peel the almonds and set them aside.
  3. Drain the cashews, melon seeds, and poppy seeds, and combine them with the almonds in a mixer jar.
  4. Soak the saffron in a little hot milk and set it aside.
  5. Add the saffron-infused milk and sugar to the mixer jar and grind the mixture into a smooth paste.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a pan and add the milk powder and ghee.
  7. Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly. Continue stirring until the ghee begins to separate from the edges, and the mixture starts to come together.
  8. Add the fennel powder, cardamom powder, black pepper powder, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder to the mixture. Stir well and turn off the heat.
  9. Once the mixture cools slightly, grease your palms with ghee and shape the mixture into small laddus.
  10. Garnish the laddus with slivers of almonds and a touch of silver foil, if desired.
  11. Serve your Thandai Ladoo as a sweet treat during Holi or after a meal for a flavorful ending.

Enjoy your festive treat of Thandai Ladoo!
