Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Servings: 20-25 ladoos
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/2 cup ghee or clarified butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1 tablespoon cardamom powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: a few drops of rose water or kewra essence for added flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions:

2. Add the chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and salt to the flour mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
Pro Cooking Tips:
To ensure the ladoos hold their shape, it’s essential to knead the dough gently but thoroughly. This will help develop the gluten in the wheat flour, making the ladoos firmer.
If you find that your ladoos are too sticky, add a little more wheat flour and knead again. Conversely, if they’re too dry, add a teensy bit of ghee.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the wheat ladoos as a snack or dessert, perfect for Diwali celebrations or everyday indulgence.
Pair them with a hot cup of chai or coffee for a delightful treat.
Store leftover ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently before serving.
Indulge in the simplicity and goodness of these homemade wheat ladoos, a true delight for the senses!
