We use only dates, figs and raisins for sweetening this laddu. If your kids eat dry fruits laddu, then you can be really happy as it is really good for their health because of its benefits.

I used fig for the first time. I never have bought figs or used in any dish so far. I have couple of times tasted fig sweets we get in sweet shops as they sell. Not a great fan as the seeds in fig annoy me a lot. But I guess it is really healthy because of its nutritional value. So bought figs especially to try these dry fruits nuts ladoo. I did not like it much, so prefer making it without figs. If you are fine with figs, you can try with figs.
