One of the main ingredient used in this recipe is flaxseeds. 

Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids and anti-oxidants. They are rich in fibre. Highly recommended for diabetic patients. They have lots of health benifits.

Here i have used some dryfruits as per my choice. You can add any  dry fruits of your choice.

Here i have used only dates and few raisins to add natural sweetness to the dish. You can add honey, jaggery or those interested can add sugar too.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup raisins 
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 2 tsp ghee

Method:


A. 

Add flax seeds to a pan & just heat for 1 minute. Do not roast. Roasting the seeds can kill the nutrients. 

Slightly heat sesame seeds too. 

Add these seeds to the grinding jar & grind to a fine powder.  Remove and keep aside. 

B.

Slightly heat Almonds , pumpkin seeds and cashew nuts. Add this to the grinding jar and just pulse for 10 seconds to retain the crunch.
