How to make Protein Rich Energy Balls
- On low to medium, dry roast almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, fox nuts each separately. After roasting, grind them in mixer jar using pulse (I prefer to grind each separately) to make fine powder. Now put all the nuts powder in a large bowl and mix them all. And put raisins as well.
Now put flax, sunflower, melon, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg powder and salt in the same bowl with all nuts powder. Mix them well.
On a low to medium flame, dry roast sesame seeds until light golden color is achieved. Keep them aside for later use.
Take a pan and keep on the heat with low flame. Add crushed jaggery and once it starts to melt put water. Keep moving the spatula so that jaggery does not stick to the base of a pan. Once it starts to bubble or stick, off the flame and continuously keep string the jaggery.
Now pour hot jaggery syrup over the nuts and seeds mixture. At this stage add oil or clarified butter and sesame seeds as well. Keep mixing until the mixture starts to stick together.
While the mixture is still warm use ice-cream scoop or table spoon to make small balls.
Enjoy your protein rich energy balls with warm milk or as a snack.
Tips & Tricks
I suggest to soak all the nuts overnight in water (prefer separately), but it is completely optional. This will make them easily digestible and helps your body to absorb all the nutrients.
Let them dry naturally in sunlight for at least 2 hours and then dry roast to get the maximum health benefits.
Serving vary by size.
Can be stored upto 2 weeks.
