Once jaggery has completely melted, add grated coconut and keep stirring on a low flame till the coconut is fully absorbed by the jaggery.
When the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan and tends to become slightly thicker, switch off the flame.
Add roasted oats powder, cardamom powder and nuts powder and mix well. Allow it to cool down.
When the oats mixture is still warm, grease your palms with ghee and shape the ladoos.

Notes

If you are not able to bind the mixture or if the mixture is too dry, add some ghee and before you shape them.
You can also add walnuts to the dried nuts powder.
