  2. 1/2 cup Almonds roasted
  3. 1/2 cup Lotus Seeds (Phool makhana)
  4. 1/2 cup Melon seeds (from the Indian Grocery store)
  5. 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut (Where to buy) 
  6. 1/2 cup Oats
  7. 1/2 cup Sesame Seeds (I use brown Til for some reason anything white to eat doesn't go with me)
  8. 1/4 cup Sunflower seeds
  9. 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds 
  10. 1/4 cup Gond (gum arabic) (Where to buy)
  11. 2tbsp whole roasted Flaxseeds (Where to buy)
  12. 1 cup Semolina (Sooji)
  13. Ghee, as needed( this will be required to fry some of the ingredients- You can use store-bought or make your own like me)
  14. 1/2 cup Gur powdered (Jaggery)

How to Make:

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a pan. Top the ghee up as needed. Use a slotted spoon to fry all the following ingredients(one at a time). Make sure to stir them occasionally.
  2. Add the lotus seeds (Phool makhana) to the ghee. These absorb a lot of ghee. Fry until they change color. To check for doneness, you can try one. Once it's crunchy, it's done. Set aside.
  3. Add the melon seeds to the ghee. Fry until golden and fragrant. Set aside with the lotus seeds
  4. Add the sesame seeds to the ghee. Fry until golden brown and fragrant. Remove and set aside with the other seeds
  5. Add the sunflower seeds to the ghee. Fry until darkening and fragrant. Remove and set aside with the other seeds
  6. Add the pumpkin seeds to the ghee. Fry until golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside with the other seeds.
  7. Add the flaxseeds to the ghee. Fry for 3-4 minutes, Remove and set aside with the other seeds.
  8. Add the Oats to the ghee. Fry until golden brown - this is the most tedious of all. Remove and set aside.
  9. Add the Gond (gum arabic) to the ghee. This needs a lot of ghee. Ghee should be medium hot. Fry these until they become puffy and stop spluttering. If these turn hard, Discard them.
  10. Add the semolina (sooji) to the ghee. Fry this well, stirring often until it becomes dark and fragrant. This can take up to 12 minutes. Remove and set this aside with the raisins
  11. On the side roast the Almonds and Walnuts at 300 degrees F for 8 min. Once done set them aside with the other nuts.
  12. Transfer the large bowl of nuts to a food processor and grind the mixture coarsely.
  13. Add Flaxseeds, Coconut to the bowl of seeds and transfer this bowl to a food processor and grind the mixture coarsely.
  14. Stir in semolina, and powdered Gur. You can adjust the sweetness to taste.
  15. Store in an air-tight container in a cool place. This has a rather long shelf life.
