This is a variation to the traditional churma laddoo made using whole wheat coarse flour. I had modified them and made them healthy. I had replaced the wheat flour with bajri flour, semolina, chick pea flour, and oats. Traditionally the whole wheat flour dough is shaped into logs and deep fried and then crushed into powder to make laddoo. I had modified this step and have baked the flour dough and then crushed them. This step saves the time of deep frying and cut offs the oil from deep frying. Also I had added the nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pepita, pistachio and some cashew nuts and sesame seeds that are good source of energy and vitamins and minerals.

  • Once the melted jaggery and ghee combines well and the mixture becomes lukewarm, shape it into laddoos. 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.)
