Snacking on Apples



















Hello From Pune...

My blog name, Kailas Kitchen has lost its relevance in the real sense for the time being. It will be sulre there in terms of spirit.  My husband's job has brought me to Pune. The month of September kept me busy with the shifting and settling down in the new place. Everything went on smooth. I just wanted to let my readers know about my absence. Sorry could not leave a post before I went on a break. Yet to get an internet connection at home. Hopefully I get in a week or so.

Thanks for the mails/messages asking about my absence.  Its a nice feeling to know that you are missed. I am wiating to start blogging and blog hopping.

See you all soon....

Chocolate Dry Fruit Ladoo

Dry Fruit Ladoos, i use whole nuts and combine Marie Biscuits and milk to shape them. This time, i even wanted my son to taste it, so i tried tweaking it a bit by adding cocoa powder and powdered nuts. Tasted great!!! And My Kiddo too enjoyed having them.

Ingredients
2 tbsp Almonds/Badam
2 tbsp Cashew
2 tbsp Pista
2 tbsp Walnuts
11/2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp Dessicated Coconut + 2 tsp for coating
2 &1/2 - 3 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
2 pods of cardamom (Optional) or A generous pinch of Cinnamon (optional, but i love them)
Method
Take a MW safe Flat Dish, Coat with some oil/Ghee add the nuts and MW high for 3 minutes, Take them out and toss after every 1 minute. Once done, take them out and add dessicated coconut, while the nuts are in the same pan and toss well. Let it cool.
In a Mixer, grind the nuts and coconut mixture to a fine powder, While grinding itself u can see the mixture coming together. Add Brown Sugar and Cocoa Powder and Grind again. If using cardamom, add them along with the sugar and grind. Transfer the mixture to Flat Plate, add Cinnamon and mix well. Shape them into Small balls and coat with Dessicated Coconut. Tada!! Healthy Ladoos ready in 20 minutes!!!!
