Kid or adult, none can resist these aromatic, tasty, melt-in-the-mouth whole wheat flour and jaggery ladoos.
Ladoo or laddus are a spherical shaped Indian sweet. They are generally made with flour, fat and a sweetener (sugar, jaggery, condensed milk etc). We have made our atta ladoo recipe with jaggery as the sweetener and enhanced the flavour with cardamom powder.
Whole wheat ladoos are the easiest and the quickest ladoos that can be made in a jiffy and in a hassel-free way. I usually make them for Diwali sweets and store them in an air-tight container and serve as required.
To make atta ladoo recipe we have dry roasted the whole wheat flour in a non-stick pan until fragrant while stirring occasionally making sure doesn't burn. Further, we have added melted ghee and cooked. Next, after the switching the flame off we have added crushed nuts. We have used almonds, cashew nuts, and pistachios to elevate the taste of whole wheat flour ladoos but you can add other dried fruits like walnuts, raisins, black currants too. Mix well and transfer to a plate, let it cool atleast for 30 mins. Once slightly cooled, add jaggery. You can replace it with jaggery powder. Lastly, add cardamom powder and mix well using hands. Divide and roll between your palms shaping them into round ladoos. wheat flour ladoos are ready to be relished!!
Roasting the flour well removes the raw smell and gives the whole wheat flour and jaggery ladoo a rich aroma while jaggery and ghee give it an intense, traditional flavour.
Wholesome and nutritious, the Atta ke Ladoo is a saviour when hunger strikes. Just two atta ladoos are enough to satisfy your tummy. You can make a batch of these laddoos and store them at room temperature for a week.
You can also try recipes like Churma Ladoo or Coconut Laddoo.

Hi, You can deep fry in ghee, till it becomes crispy. Cool it and blend to a coarse powder and add it to the mixture, along with the jaggery.

Hello Ma''am! I have grown up seeing ur recipe books in my mom''s kitchen. Any new dish and we knew where is the origin:) Thank you for the efforts you put in your recipes. It makes things simple for us. I have a question. I like to add less ghee and less sugar/ jaggery in ladoo. But then it gets very difficult to tie them up and they break easily. Could you pls suggest if it is due to less ghee or some other issue. Any tips on how to fix it? Thank you in advance:)

I would like to know if we can add melted jaggery instead of grated jaggery to the whole wheat-ghee mixture once it has cooled down. Jaggery sometimes has small stones that can be filtered out if it melted and not if it is grated.

Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
Hi, you cannot add melted jaggery,it will change the consistency.. grated jaggery needs to be added..
