My trip to India would be incomplete without them and these handmade ladoos are the first thing my mom always brings to me.
Healthy Atta Ladoo Ingredients:
Prepare the following wholesome ingredients for your atta ladoos:
Atta (whole wheat flour) – You can use fine flour or slightly coarser flour.
Ghee (clarified butter) – You have to use pure ghee (no flavored ghee). You can use any lighter fluid or a mixture of ghee and regular lighter fluid.
sugar – We need powdered sugar, but not powdered sugar. You can also use jaggery or bura (brown sugar) or even sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit instead of white rock sugar.
cardamom powder – This gives it a very earthy, sweet, slightly smoky flavor.
mixed nuts – I use a mixture of nuts like cashews, almonds, raisins, makhana (fox nut) and chironji. You can use any nut of your choice. These are regular raw nuts to be toasted, or you can use roasted unsalted nuts.
These natural and unprocessed ingredients form the basis of nutritious candy that you can enjoy without compromising your health.
How to Make Whole Wheat Flour Ladoo (Atta Ladoo):
- We first cut the nuts into small pieces (You can use a food processor or chopper to do the same thing, or simply chop with a knife or scissors).
- Heat 1 tablespoon ghee (or oil, whatever you use) In a pan or kadhai (Indian Wok).
- Then add the chopped nuts and roast over low heat for 2-3 minutes until you smell nutty flavor and the nuts are slightly golden. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
- Add remaining ghee and heat. Then add crushed cardamom pods and fry once.
- We then add the uncooked whole wheat flour and bake until it has a warm, nutty aroma and the flour looks medium-dark golden brown.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix well until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
- Add plenty of chopped nuts to provide a crunchy texture and extra nutritional value.
- Now mix everything and turn off the heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of melted ghee and pat some on your palms before shaping the laddoos.
- When the mixture is slightly warm and firm, take 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place it in the center of your palm.
- Using your other hand, fold and twist to form a bite-sized ladool shape (Round balls – let your creativity run wild with their size and shape).
Feel free to personalize your atta ladoo by adding dry fruits, seeds, or even a bit of saffron.
Experimenting with variations allows you to tailor the recipe to your taste preferences while adding extra nutritional variety.
Pair these atta ladoos with a cup of herbal tea or enjoy them as a post-workout snack.
