In a pan heat ghee.

Stir and melt the jaggery. Remove from heat once the jaggery is melted. (take cake to remove once melted, if jaggery kept more on heat then it will start to caremalised and the laddoo will become harder and chewy).
Pour the melted jaggery and ghee over the flour and nuts mixture.
Mix them well. If you find mixture is drying then add warm milk to it. (sometimes if the dough is baked more, then the moisture will dry and hence it will become difficult to shape into laddoo.)
Apply ghee in your palm if required and shape the dough into small balls. Keep aside to set for some time.

If the dough is over baked, then the moisture in it dries out. Hence it becomes difficult to shape them. So use warm milk while shaping them into laddoo.
