Enjoying my stay @ Chennai. Swargame enrallum athu namma ooru pola varuma!!!! No way!!!!

Ok, coming to Dry Fruit Laddu. Wonderful recipe, taste great. Got this recipe from Channel [V]  Pakao.
Very simple to make.

Ingredients
Almonds - 1/2 cup
Cashew - 1/2 cup
Walnuts - 10-12 nos.
Dates - 10- 12 nos.
Marie Biscuits - 10 nos.
Milk - 1/4 cup
Chocolate - 4 squares of diary milk/any plain chocolate
freshly grated coconut/Dessicated Coconut - 2 tbsp


Method
Warm the milk slightly, add 2 squares of chocolate to it. Roughly Chop all the nuts.  Remove the seeds of dates and chop it. Powder the biscuits. Roughly chop 2 squares of chocolate. Mix the nuts, dates and biscuits  and chopped chocolates in a big bowl.

By this time the chocolate would have melted in the milk.  Now add this milk to the Nuts-Biscuit Mixture and make balls.  When you find the balls are not shaping, add 1-2 powdered biscuits and shape it well. Roll the laddus in freshly grated coconut or dessicated coconut.  Store it in an Air-Tight Container. Stays good for 4-5 days when refrigerated.

Laddus will be very mild in sweet. For a Sweeet Laddu, Instead of Chocolate Milk use Condensed Milk. Follow the same procedure, Just pour condensed milk lil by lil and make laddus.
