Ingredients
Flax seeds – 1/2 cup

Pitted dates – 1 cup
Cocoa powder or Coconut for garnish
Directions
- Dry roast all the seeds on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.

- Grease your palms with ghee and shape the dough into Five small balls.
- Optional – To make it look good roll them in cocoa powder and grated coconut.

Notes
- Toasting increases the flavour of seeds. Also, roasted seeds release oil on grinding that helps with making balls.
