Finally dry roast almonds and cashews till light brown and let it cool down.
Add all the dry roasted ingredients and grind it using a mixer grinder.
You can either make a slightly coarse powder or a fine powder. If you want a fine powder, grind the ingredients, sieve it and grind again till you get the desired consistency.
Add jaggery , cardamom powder and grind again. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
Now melt the ghee and add it to the above mixture.
When the mixture is warm to handle, make small size ladoos and store in an air tight container.

I have used standard measuring cups with yields around 30-35 small size ladoos.
