Oats Laddu

Ingredients                                        

Oats (Rolled or cooking oats)	2 cups
Sugar	1 ¼ cups
Ghee (melted butter)	¼ cup
Cardamom powder	1 tsp
Cashews (broken) and sultanas	2 tbsp

Method

1. Heat 1 tbspn of ghee in a heavy bottomed kadai and add oats and roast it until the raw smell goes. Take care not to burn the oats.
2. Once cool, powder it along with sugar and cardamom into a very fine powder.
3. Heat the remaining ghee and add broken cashews (preferably very tiny pieces) and sultanas. Fry until light brown and switch off the stove.
4. Now put the powdered oats and mix everything well.  Shape the mixture into small balls. Please note here that the ghee should be hot as it will melt the sugar and make it easy to shape. If you find that the mixture is very dry, keep adding small amounts of hot ghee.
