About the group:
Shhhhh Cooking Secretly is a monthly challenge in a facebook group where we are paired with a different partner every month. Two secret ingredients are  chosen by each partner for the other one and we prepare any dish with those ingredients based on the selected theme of the month which was Diwali 
This month I am paired with Poonam Bachhav who selected "cardamom powder" and "ghee" as my secret ingredients and I made these dry fruit laddoos. I chose "ajwain" and "oil" as the secret ingredients for her as she opted out for a savoury dish. She made tasty and irresistible Instant Rice Chaklis.

  8. The ladoos look very tempting and healthy at the same time. I make something similar but do not add wheat flour too, it would add a nutty texture. Loved your recipe and presentation
