Ingredients
 

  • 4 cup coarse wheat flour
  • 2 cup jaggery
  • 2 cup melted ghee
  • 1 cup hot water or as required
  • ¼ cup chopped cashews
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachio
  • ¼ cup kismis
  • ½ cup besan
  • 1 tbsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp jayphal powder
  • Garnish with khus khus
  • Oil for frying muthiya

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, take 4 cups of coarse wheat flour and add ½ cup of melted ghee. Mix well until the flour binds between the hands. Add 1 cup of slightly hot water and knead into a tight dough for muthiya.
  • Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into small muthiyas. Prepare all muthiyas in the same way.
  • Heat oil and fry the muthiyas on low flame until they become crispy and golden brown.
  • Allow them to cool, then grind them finely. Sieve the ground muthiya mixture.
  • Now heat ghee in a pan, add chopped almonds, cashews, pistachios, and raisins. Roast for 2 minutes or until slightly brown, then add them into the churma.
  • In the same pan, add ghee and ½ cup besan. Roast the besan on low flame, adding ghee gradually, until it puffs up and turns slightly golden brown. Add this to the churma.
  • Also, add 1 tbsp cardamom powder and 1 tsp nutmeg powder, and mix well.
  • In the same pan, add 1 cup ghee and 2 cups jaggery. Melt it, then add it into the churma and mix well.
  • Now, shape the mixture into round ladoos with your hands and coat the ladoos with khus khus.
  • Serve Gujarati-style Churma na Ladoo, or store them in an air-tight container. They stay good for 15 days at room temperature and up to 1 month in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use coarse wheat flour for churma ladoo.
  • The proportion of ghee and jaggery should be half of the wheat flour.
  • Knead a tight dough for muthiya.
  • Make small-sized muthiya so they fry evenly from inside.
  • Fry muthiya on a low flame.
  • Grind muthiya using the pulse mode.
  • Add ghee in batches and roast besan on a low flame until it turns golden brown.
  • Adding roasted besan enhances the taste of the ladoo.
  • Melt jaggery on a low flame; do not cook on high flame, otherwise it will overcook.
  • Churma na ladoo stay good into air-tight container for 1 month.
