Ingredients

1 Cup - White Sesame Seeds
3/4 Cup - Chopped Dates
1/2 Cup - Dessciate or Dry Grated Coconut

Method

* Remove seeds from dates if not suing pitted dates and finely chop it. If you keep dates in fridge then take it outside a night or day before, this will make dates soft, easy to chop and make laddus. Dates has to soft so it can bind well.

* Dry roast sesame in a pan or wok until it light golden brown around 1-2 minutes in medium flame, keep aside to cool. In the same pan add coconut, stir and off flame

* Grind sesame in a mixer or coffee grinder only for 3-4 seconds, don't not grind more than that, we want to light crush the sesame seeds and not powder it. While you grinding count to 3 so you don't over do it :) OR you can also pound sesame seeds in mortar and pestle.

* Take sesame seeds in a large bowl, add chopped dates, coconut (keep 1 tbsp of coconut aside) and mix well to combine everything together well and to bind it, using hand is best option.

* Take small amount of mixture and roll it in hand to form a ball or laddu shape, roll prepared laddu in coconut we save and repeat same for rest.
