Atta Ladoo Wheat Flour Laddu With Jaggery How To Make Atta Ladoo

Atta Ladoo or Wheat Flour Laddu with Jaggery is a classic and rich, melt-in-mouth, and irresistibly delicious Indian sweet recipe that you should prepare during any festival or special occasion. I bet you can’t stop after eating one. I have received rave reviews from those who have tasted this laddu, so I am sure it will be a crowd favorite when you serve it to your loved ones. When you have hunger pangs, just one whole wheat laddu is enough to keep you full for a long time. Therefore you can even use this as a snack in your kids’ lunch box or as mid-day snack at your office table.

Next week is Varalaxmi vratam (Vara Mahalakshmi festival ), followed by Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi), Krishna Janmashtami, and Ganesh Chaturthi. For any special occasion or celebration, Laddu or ladoo is one of the most popular sweets that is distributed among family and friends. So I decided why not share this easy, hassle-free dessert recipe with all of you? You can easily shape the mixture into laddus and no compromise on taste and texture.

The only warning from my side is to reserve a portion for yourself; else, you will only be left with an empty box. My two boys love this laddu. The elder one, who turned four last week, has asked me to prepare this again 🙂 Do try this out, and I am sure it will be a crowd-pleaser. You can also make this laddu ahead of time and give it in the form of mithai boxes during Diwali or Christmas.

I have started mentioning the recipe names in languages that I know from the last couple of posts. Feel free to drop in a comment with the name of this laddu or a similar recipe in your mother tongue or your local dialect. I would love to add these names in my post when I can update it again. This way, it helps me learn new words every day and helps my readers find the right recipes.

1 cup Atta or Wheat flour or Gehu ka atta ½ cup Ghee or Brown butter ¼ cup Cashews ¼ cup Almonds 2 tablespoon Raisins ½ to ¾ cup Jaggery crushed or grated (adjust to taste) ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder

Add almonds and cashews to a blender and blend for few seconds to form a coarse powder. In a non-stick pan on medium-low heat, add wheat flour and roast until aromatic. Continuously stir during the process to avoid it from burning and even roasting. It took me around 10 minutes. However, it may take anywhere between 7 to 10 minutes. Add ghee and keep stirring to avoid any lumps. Now add coarsely powdered nuts and keep stirring. After 2 minutes, add raisins.

Continue roasting this for a total of 4 to 5 minutes till you see the bubbles in the mixture. Switch off the flame. Check the video for more details. Let the mixture cool down slightly for around 15 minutes. If you keep it in the same pan, keep stirring for another 2 to 3 minutes or transfer it to another plate. After 15 minutes, add jaggery, and cardamom powder, and mix to form a mixture. Take a small amount of this mixture and shape them into balls. I prepared around 16 laddoos.

I have used chikki jaggery (anta god). You can use any jaggery that is available at your local stores. If you cannot find jaggery, substitute it with sugar or brown sugar. I love the combination of cashews, almonds, and raisins in my sweet recipes. You can vary the amount to taste. You can also add pistachios if desired. I have used a non-stick pan, and the entire process was done on medium-low flame. Depending on the intensity of the flame, the thickness and material of the pan time may vary. So use my timing as a guide. Check the video for more details. Instead of raisins, you can use dates, cranberries, plums, and prunes. You can substitute a portion of wheat flour with other flour like oat, almond, chickpea (besan), and coconut to make it more nutritious. You can also coat or add roasted sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dry grated coconut as part of the mixture.

Atta laddu can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 7 days at room temperature. If you want to store it beyond that, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat in the microwave just until warm and serve.
