For the Laddu

10 jackfruit seeds
2 tablespoons peanuts
10 almonds
10 cashew nuts
2 tablespoons dry grated coconut
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 green cardamoms
Jaggery powder, as required (about ½ cup or to taste)

Preparation Method

Prepare the Ingredients

Roast the jackfruit seeds until they are cooked and aromatic.
Allow them to cool, then remove the outer skin.
Roast the peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, dry grated coconut, and poppy seeds separately until lightly golden.
Let all the roasted ingredients cool completely.

Prepare the Laddu Mixture

Add the roasted jackfruit seeds to a mixer jar and grind them into a fine powder.
Add the roasted peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, dry grated coconut, and cardamom.
Grind again until everything is well combined.
Add the jaggery powder and blend once more until the mixture comes together.

Shape the Laddus

Transfer the mixture to a plate or mixing bowl.
Take small portions and press them firmly into round laddus.
Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Recipe Tips

Roast the jackfruit seeds well for a rich, nutty flavor.
Adjust the quantity of jaggery according to your sweetness preference.
If the mixture feels dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of warm ghee to help bind the laddus.
Allow the roasted ingredients to cool before grinding for the best texture.
Store the laddus in an airtight container for up to one week.
