Whole Wheat flour laddus are nutritious snack for growing children. The nutrition is even more increased by adding almonds and flax seeds..in that way you can also add other nuts like even pistachios . I have given it to my children and still do. They enjoy in the name of laadus.
It is really great snack for kids and yes grown ups can also indulge sometimes with the goodness.
The best part is it can be made easily without any hazzle, within half hour and can be stored up till a week. Yes of course if it is there any. Trust me they are not only tasty but healthy and nutritious too.
Whole wheat flour with ghee and sugar. I do not finely powder the sugar, I keep it a bit grainy as it gives the crunch to these balls. Now it is up to you to finely powder it or keep it grainy.
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup,
Ghee - a little less than 1/2 cup,
Sugar - 3/4 cup,
Cardamom Powder - 1/2 teaspoon,
Flax Seeds Powder - 1/2 teaspoon,
Almond Powder - 1 tablespoon.
Method:
Melt the ghee and keep aside.
In a thick bottom medium big kadai, add the whole wheat flour.
Fry the whole wheat flour in medium low heat, until the raw smell of the flour evaporates.
This takes approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add ghee for about 1/2 tablespoon at a time and keep frying.
Keep the heat in low medium, as this ensures even frying and avoids burning of the flour.
Continue to add ghee and fry the flour, until the flour mixture turns to a grainy lump.
This stage takes approximately 6-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
While it it still warm, add almond powder, cardamom powder and flax seeds powder and mix well.
Immediately also add sugar.
Now if you want you can, like me, add a bit grainy sugar or finely powdered sugar.
Remember to add sugar, when the mixture is still warm, this will make the sugar to loosen a bit and forms binding with the flour mixture and makes easier to make balls.
Make equal shaped sized balls and allow to rest.
Store in airtight containers and enjoy.
You can also send for your children's packed lunches for snacks, or after school snacks.
