- Dry roast the ragi and bajra flour in a pan on medium heat. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the flours will be aromatic. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a food processor, ad the millet flours, dates, almonds and coconut flakes. Give it about 8 to 10 pulses, until the almonds, dates and coconuts and all shredded down uniformly.
- Add honey now, and give it quick pulses until the mixture is crumbly and starts to gather into a dough. Remove and mold them into lemon sized balls. They can be stored at room temperature. Chilling it in the fridge will keep if fresh for upto two weeks.
