Notes
Milk solids can be purchased from Indian store if you do not wish to prepare at home.
Vegan lifestyle; Use soft tofu crumbles and plant cream cheese.
For sweetening I have used raisins and date paste. Use a sweetener of your choice to taste. One can use either or both.
Nuts and chia deliver vivid texture to the ladoos, be free to increase or decrease content to taste.
