Ingredients

Thandai Masala/Powder

  • ½ Cup Almonds
  • ⅓ Cup Pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepporcorns Whole
  • 2 tablespoon Fennel seeds
  • 2 tablespoon Poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Watermelon seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Cardamom pods from green cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon Saffron
  • 1 tablespoon Dried rose petals or 1 teaspoon rose water or rose syrup

Thandai Keto Ladoo

  • 1 cup +2 tablespoon blanched almond flour
  • 1-2 tablespoon sugarfree sweetener or ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup Thandai Masala
  • 2 tbsp-¼ cup Almond Milk
  • ¼ cup Chopped pistachios + Almonds

Instructions

Prepare the flour

  • In a small nonstick pan, take one cup and two tablespoon almond flour.
  • Roast in a low flame unless the flour feels warm and oozes a nutty aroma.
  • Set aside.

Make thandai powder/masala

  • Add all ingredients to a spice blender or a coffee grinder and blend to a fine powder.
  • Set aside ½ cup of the mix and keep rest of the masala mix in an air-tight container.

Make the dough:

  • Now take the roasted almond flour in a mixing bowl.
  • Add thandai powder, ¼ cup of chopped nuts and mix well.
  • If keto, add in 1-2 tablespoon of sugar substitute (I used Swerve) and mix well.
  • If not keto, add in ½ cup of powdered sugar and mix well. Increase the sugar quantity if you love a sweeter ladoo.
  • Add 2 tablespoon to ¼ cup of warm almond milk and mix well till the mixture forms a dough.
  • Microwave the mixture for 3 minutes with occasional stirring in every 30 seconds. The mixture at this point will dry out and become a lumpy mass. At this point, add the two tablespoon of almond flour.
  • Knead for a few minutes till the mixture feels smooth and non-sticky. You can also knead using a silicone spatula.
  • Allow the mixture to cool down.

Make Ladoos:

  • When the mixture-dough is cool enough to work with, you can start making small balls from the dough by using your palms. Don’t forget to grease your palm for easy rolling.
  • Now add some chopped pistachios on the top of each ladoo. If you want, you can also use some desiccated coconut or saffron for garnishing these ladoos.
  • Your Keto Thandai Ladoo is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Add warm almond milk little by little while making the dough.
  • The mixture doesn't need any additional oil or ghee.
  • If the dough feels sticky, cook for a few more minutes in microwave before kneading the dough.
