Chaturthi fervour continues - Homemade Wheat Flour Laddus :)

Homemade Wheat Flour Laddus

My mom and me made these Wheat Flour Laddos as a part of the chaturthi fervour . She has a knack for making these and makes them delightful and yummy. These laddos are not very sweet with subtle flavor of the wheat and hardly any visibility of the ghee. These Atta laddos are my favorite and I prefer them over the Besan Laddos.

A very simple recipe i am posting below along with a glimpse of the making :)

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup atta (whole wheat flour)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
• 2 tbsp chopped nuts like almonds and raisins(optional)
• 1 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder

Method: 

• Put a kadhai (heavy bottomed vessel) on heat and add ghee. When ghee melts, add the atta. Turn the heat to medium.
• Roast the atta stirring constantly till a nice aroma comes out of atta and it gives a roasted appearance. Turn off the heat and take atta out of kadhai.
• Let it cool down a bit and then add chopped nuts, cardamom powder and sugar. Mix well with your hands.
• Then make lemon sized balls out of the mixture. 
• Note: Add more ghee to the mixture and mix again, if the laddus do not hold their shape.
• When they cool down completely, store these atta laddus in an airtight container.
