    Notes :
    • You could alter the number of nuts and dry fruits as per your preference. But make sure to adjust the number of dates and raisins for the sweet taste.
    • Make sure to ground the nuts finely for small babies in order to avoid choking hazards.
    • This dry fruits ladoo stays well for 4 days at room temperature and keeps well for a week if stored in a refrigerator.
    • Sauteeing the dry fruits nuts mix in ghee after grinding is purely optional. But it helps to roll the ladoos easily.
    • Always check with your baby's doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
    • Make sure to introduce everything separate to your baby before you try this dry fruit ladoo for your baby.
