कणकेचे लाडू - Whole wheat flour Laddu

This one is my favorite ladoo recipe. These are healthy ladoo (पौष्टिक लाडू). My mother makes it so perfect. I am trying to make them just like her since last few years. So here is my mother’s recipe,

Ingredients

Ghee 1 cup
Whole wheat flour 2 cups
Edible gum 1-2 tbsp
Powdered Sugar 1 cup (add extra if required)

Recipe

1. Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a pan. Add edible gum and fry till it puffs nicely. Take it out and let it cool. After gum cools down, crush it with hands coarsely.
2. Now in the same pan add remaining ghee and wheat flour. If needed add extra ghee and roast wheat flour stirring continuously till it changes color. Keep eye on it while roasting, do not burn it.
3. After roasting the flour nicely, let it cool for some time. Cool it until you can handle it with bare hands.
4. Add edible fried gum and powdered sugar and mix it nicely. Now make medium sized laddus and store them in a airtight jar. It can be stored up to a week or two on shelf.
