Churma Laddoo

Khama ghani!! (That's 'hello' in Rajasthan) :) Earlier this month, I was at Jodhpur for a dear friend's wedding reception, and got a chance to sink my teeth into churma laddoos. Yum!


So basically, am giving into my cravings here :P


For making CL, you'll need:


- 200 gm wheat flour 

- 400 gm ghee 
- 100 gm khoya/mawa 
- 200 gm grounded sugar
- 50 gm finely chopped soaked almonds
- 4 small cardamoms
- 1 inch dalchini

1. Sabse pehle, melt 150 gm of the ghee in a kadhai and mix it with the wheat flour; and make a stiff dough using very little water.

Note: Make sure the dough is stiff else the laddoos won't turn out crisp.

2. Now, heat the remaining of the ghee, and fry it on a low flame till it turns golden brown.

3. Then, once this mixture cools down, churn it in a grinder. Now add the khoya to it.

4. In another kadhai, add a tbsp of ghee, cardamoms & dalchini. Then, add the above mixture and fry for a minute.

5. After this cools, add the sugar & almonds. And mix well, of course :P

You can make about 20 laddoos with this quantity. And remember, this isn't play dough :P CL can be enjoyed for nearly 10 days, if kept in an airtight box. Yenjoy!!
