These winter special ladoos are very healthy and delicious too. They are made especially during winters to keep body warm. These ladoos are also given to new mothers to give strength to their bodies. I am using atta here but many times my mother adds urad dal also along with wheat flour. My mother used to send me ladoos every time during winters but this is the first time that i learned from her and made these ladoos. We used to eat ladoos in mornings as they keep us energetic all day long.
