Instructions
20 steps- 1
To begin making the Malida Recipe, tear the Roti to bite sized pieces
leftover roti(8) - 2
Process the roti to coarse texture using Food Processor
leftover roti(8) - 3
You would get about approximately 3 cups of the roti mixture
leftover roti(8) - 4
Keep this aside
- 5
The next step is to process the dry fruits
- 6
First add the almonds and make a course powder
cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon) - 7
Into a large mixing bowl, add the powdered almonds, chopped dates, cardamom powder and jaggery
jaggery - grated(1/4 cup)cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon)dates - (pitted) finely chopped(1/4 cup) - 8
Stir well to combine

Our next step is to lightly roast the roti powder in ghee
leftover roti(8)cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon)tablespoons ghee(2) - 11
Heat a heavy bottomed pan on low heat and melt the ghee
tablespoons ghee(2) - 12
Add in the Roti powder and stir well
leftover roti(8)cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon) - 13
Roast the whole wheat roti for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the powder is hot enough
leftover roti(8)cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon) - 14
The reason we roast on low heat, is so that it becomes crisp slightly and the heat also helps in binding the remaining ingredients to make the malida
- 15
Add this toasted powder to the wide bowl with other ingredients
cardamom powder (elaichi)(1/2 teaspoon) - 16
Combine all the ingredients together using your hand
- 17
Once mixture feels wet, start making small bite balls out of the Malida Mixture
- 18
Malida would be little sticky while making balls but the jaggery will get hard and hold shape once it rests for a few minutes
jaggery - grated(1/4 cup) - 19
Serve the Malida as a tea time snack or as a healthy lunch box snack for kids
- 20
This sweet is packed with nutrition and goodness that you can have it as a quick energy booster for those long work days
