Atta Ladoo recipe | Sweet balls made from Whole Wheat flour | Atta Ladoo with Jaggery

Whole Wheat or Atta Laddu is a wholesome Indian sweet, tasty and easy at the same time. I have used jaggery instead of sugar, which makes it more healthy. Roasted nuts and desiccated coconut added to the laddu makes it more delicious.

 This laddu is good for kids and can be given as a snack or packed in their lunch box. This laddu is great if u have to make some home based sweet to guest or family in very less time. So, what are you waiting for?? Do try...

Ingredients:

1 cup Wheat flour / Atta
1/3 cup Ghee
1/2 cup Jaggery ( can adjust the sweetness)
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup nuts ( I have used almonds, pistachio, walnut and flax seed)


Instructions:

• Take a pan, add ghee and wheat flour. Dry roast the wheat flour on low flame stirring continuously or it will burn. Keep roasting until aroma starts wafting and it turns golden brown in color. Do not keep the flame on high.

• Add desiccated coconut ( you can adjust the quantity or can skip) and roast again on low flame for 1 minute. 

• You can roast and chop the nuts or coarsely grind them. Add to the mixture and mix well.

• Now, switch off the flame and add the powdered jaggery and mix well.

• After some time when the mixture gets warm, make small balls out of it. The balls will be bit soft but will become firm after few hours.

                                      Enjoy this healthy sweet with your friends and family.

Notes:

1. Roast the wheat flour nicely or else it will give raw taste to the laddu.
2. Do not allow the mixture to cool down completely or else balls or laddu won't form.
3. If the you are not able to shape into balls, two reasons 1. less ghee 2. you allowed the mixture to cool down completely.
4. Two ways to fix it. 1. Sprinkle some warm milk.( will lessen the shelf life) 2. Reheat the mixture on low flame and add some ghee. 
5. You can add sesame seeds, chia seeds, raisins, cashews etc.
6. Store in an air tight container.
