Healthy balls

Here I'm sharing a healthy snacks for kids. Everyday I was struggling to give food for my son. He doesn't like to eat rice or tiffin we usually make in home. Usually kids like to eat sweets.
So I decided to give some sweets which is more nutritious and healthy. This recipe is a fusion of two recipes which I have read from some book. Try and give comments.

Ingredients:

Cashews – 10nos

Badham - 10nos

Pista - 10nos

Seedless Dates - 5nos

Peanuts - few

Grated coconut - 2tbspn

Honey - for taste

Ghee - as required 

How to make:

1. Pour ghee in a kadai and fry cashew, badham and pista. 
2. Dry roast peanuts and grated coconut separately. 
3. Soak seedless dates in hot water for few minutes. 
4. Now grind and make a fine powder of all nuts. Add dates into it and grind it slightly to mix well. 
5. Take the powder into a bowl. 
6. Add honey, roasted coconut and heated ghee. 
7. Mix altogether and make small balls and serve.

Suggestions:

• Instead of honey you can add jaggery syrup also.
• You can add little cardamom powder for flavouring.
• Instead of frying in ghee, you can dry roast the nuts and add ghee only for making balls.
• Remove the skin from peanuts after roasting.
• It’s not mandatory to add all ingredients. You can make rolls without coconut and the nuts whatever you have at home (for sample, you can make only with peanuts,cashew,dates and honey).
