Measure out all the ingredients and keep them aside.
On a medium flame roast the foxnuts until crispy. It will take you about 5-7 minutes. Once roasted keep them aside.
Next roast the nuts for 2-3 minutes. Just to reduce moisture from them. I usually freeze my nuts to increase their shelf life. If you store your nuts in your pantry, you can skip this step. Keep them aside.
Now roast the seeds (sesame seeds, umpkin seeds, dry shredded coconut and poppy seeds) for a minute. Keep them aside.
Now in a food processor add the roasted foxnuts (makhana), roasted alonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts. Next add salt, medjool dates, saffron strands and nut butter.
Coarsely grind all the ingredients mentioned above.
Take it out in a wide bowl and use a cookie scoop to make the balls.
Make equal sized balls. You can coat them with coconut powder or dip them in melted dark chocolate.

Roast the makhanas until crispy.
Roasting the nuts is optional.
You can skip adding if you don't have sesame and poppy seeds. You can substitute them with sunflower seeds and flax seeds. Or possibly any seeds you have on hand.
Store them in the refrigerator or freeze them.
They make great gifts!!!
I always gift them in a care package to girlfriends during their pregnancy and postpartum.
