Steps In Making Churma Ladoo
- In a large bowl add wheat flour, semolina and 4-5 teaspoons of ghee. Now mix them together, till you get a sand like texture.
- Gradually add little water at a time to knead and make a stiff dough. Once done, cover the bowl with a lid and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Now take some dough in between your palms and make 6 medium size baati’s.
- In another pan preheat the ghee/oil, once done add 3-4 baatis at a time and fry them on medium-low flame till they turn golden brown from each side.
- On a tissue paper remove all the baati’s and crush them into small pieces and let them cool down for few minutes.
- In a mixer grinder grind the baati’s till you get a coarse powder texture.
- Remove the mixture in a large bowl and add powdered sugar, make sure to sieve the sugar to avoid any sugar lumps.
- Further add chopped almonds, cashews, raisins and cardamom powder and mix well.
- Lastly add few tablespoons of hot ghee, enough to bind the churma ladoo’s together. If at any point you think the churma ladoo mixture is dry, add more ghee.
- Once done take some churma ladoo mixture in your hand and make all the ladoos.
- In a plate place some poppy seeds and roll the churma ladoos on it to coat them evenly.
- Let them cool down completely for few hours on a plate.
- Store the churma ladoo’s in an airtight container for a week. Can be stored in the refrigerator for upto 2 weeks, warm them in a microwave for few seconds before serving.
Recipe Notes
- Don’t use fine wheat flour for these churma ladoo’s, coarse texture wheat flour would be preferable for perfect bite and texture.
- You can replace water with milk to knead the dough.
- Don’t fry the baati’s on high flame else they will remain uncooked from the centre.
- Ghee can be replaced with oil.
- Don’t cool the baatis completely before grinding them else they won’t bind together easily.
- Add hot ghee when binding the churma ladoo’s, this will help you use less ghee.
- Let the churma ladoos cool down completely for few hours in open before storing them.
