Peanut Flaxseed Sweet (Moongphali Alsi Laddoo)


1 C unsalted, dry roasted or raw, dry peanuts
1/2 C flaxseed
1/2 C grated gud (indian unrefined sugar, or demerara sugar)

Roast the peanuts on low heat till browned.  Note that you will have to roast even the dry roasted peanuts from the store, for about 25 minutes.  Separately, roast the flaxseed, on low heat, for about 20 minutes, till the seeds start looking darker, shinier, and crackle a bit.  Mix the peanuts, flaxseed, and gud, while the peanuts and flaxseed are still warm, and grind well (I got the best results using the VitaMix).  Bind into small balls while the mix is still warm.  Makes about 18 laddoos.  A very healthy snack!

Note: For a variation, you can replace the peanuts with sesame seeds.  Roast the sesame seeds well (till light brown).
