In a pan, roast 1 cup of almonds on medium heat until fragrant, about 7 minutes, being careful not to burn them.

Let the roasted almonds cool slightly, then blend them into a coarse powder in a food processor.

In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee until melted.

Add the chopped dates to the pan and mash them until soft, mixing well.

Once the dates are fully mashed, turn off the heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond powder, grated coconut, cardamom powder, and the mashed dates.

Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.

Grease your hands with ghee to prevent sticking and form small balls (laddoos) from the mixture.

Continue forming laddoos until all the mixture is used up.
