How to Prepare Peanut, Oats, and Jaggery Balls [Vegan]

Take peanuts in a baking tray. Preheat oven to 300°F. Set timer for 15 minutes. Toast the peanuts till they begin to crackle and turn golden. Or, take peanuts in a thick bottom wok. Roast till they crackle and become golden. Keep stirring during the process of roasting. Take oats in a thick bottom wok. Roast on medium flame until they become slightly crisp and the color just begins to change. Let the oats cool.
Take warm roasted nuts in a grinder and grind them to get a fine powder. Grind until the nuts begin to turn buttery. This will bind the balls well.
Grind oats to a fine powder.
Transfer ground nuts and oats to a deep bowl. Add salt. Mix well.
Take crumbled jaggery and add to the mixture. Mix with hands. Break lumps of jaggery if any.
Take a handful of mixture and shape into ball pressing the mixture tightly with your fingers. Use only one hand to shape laddu.
In case if the mixture seems a bit dry, add more jaggery.
Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use the winter jaggery that comes in cakes/blocks and is unrefined, soft and pliable. Do not use jaggery powder. It will not bind the mixture.
