Cashew-choco balls- NO cook/ or bake !Real quick

 I wanted to give to the kitchen staff, who slog for us 365 days of the year, on New Year morning, I give them some sweets made by me or chocolate packet. Today I decided to make the quick, no-cook/ bake balls.

 

Ingredients

sugar 1 cup

cashews 1/3 cup - more or less

powder both these in the mixer jar to a fine powder along with 2 tsp of cocoa pdr. 

put this powder in a big bowl

desiccated coconut 1 cup

milk pdr 1 cup 

I powdered both coconut and milk pdr along with another 2 tsp of cocoa pdr

added all the powders together, mix well

I'ld not make balls, I added 4-5 tbsp of ghee, mixing after each tbsp of ghee, till I'ld roll it. I made small balls, as it is easier to pop into your mouth. Normally when some ladoos are made big, some people try to break with hand, then small particles of the balls fall down. To prevent the mess, I started making  small balls.

Some balls to distribute among my friends here, especially to elders to get their blessings on the New Year day.

OATS ENERGY BALLS

Ingredients

instant cooking oats   2 cups

grated coconut   3/4 cup

condensed milk  2 tbsp

Method

To start with, place the oats into a medium sized pan on medium heat. Roast the oats until it starts to turn lightly brown, ensuring that they do not darken too much. When you see that it is lightly browned, turn off the heat transfer to another bowl and allow the oats to cool down.

Once cooled, add in the grated coconut and the condensed milk and stir to combine well. Make sure that the consistency of the mixture should not be too thin or too thick, and this can be adjusted by the amount of

 condensed milk. The resulting mixture should be such that it can be shaped into a ball.

Grease your hands with a little butter. Divide and shape the mixture into small bite size balls. Finally, refrigerate them for until firm. These little oat energy bites can be eaten at once or can  be stored in a tight container and refrigerated.
