🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: chopped dried fruit

Seeds are a good nut-free option.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ground cardamom, cinnamon, ground anise seeds, and ground ginger powder.

Add white sugar and mix well.

Incorporate unsalted butter until the mixture resembles sandy crumbs.

Optionally add freshly grated coconut and mix well.

Stream in cold evaporated milk until a semi-soft dough forms.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface until thin and cut into strips.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the strips until crispy, about 5-6 minutes.

Remove fried pieces and place them on a paper towel-lined bowl to drain excess oil.

Grind the fried pieces in a food processor until fine crumbs are formed, yielding about 2.5 to 3 cups.

Add milk powder, desiccated coconut, and extra cardamom to the crumbs and mix well.

Prepare sugar syrup by boiling granulated sugar and water for 5-6 minutes until it reaches a one-thread consistency.

Pour the sugar syrup into the mixture gradually until it binds together.

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture, compact it, and roll it into balls.

Let the ladoos set until firm.
